Stirling cycle has less efficiency than Carnot because of heat transfer at constant volume. However, if regenerative Stirling cycle is considered then the efficiency of two is equal.

What is the difference between stirling and regenerative stirling cycle?

Nithin Varma said:   9 years ago
I think Carnot.

How was Stirling Explain?

What is stirling cycle? Please anyone explain it.

Janakraj said:   9 years ago
Please explain stirling and carnot cycle with graph.

When Regenerator used in the stirling cycle then the efficiency of Carnot cycle = Stirling cycle.

Thermal efficiency of these cycles less than that of a Carnot engine operating within the same limits of temperature.

The Carnot cycle, which is a theoretical rather than a practical cycle, has the maximum possible efficiency of any cycle. There is a theoretical Stirling cycle that is also reversible, which means that it would have the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle. However, neither cycle can be realized in the real world, so a real Stirling cycle will have a lower efficiency than the theoretical Carnot cycle.

Carnot cycle is equal to Stirling cycle when temp not considered in this case.

Muruga said:   8 years ago
Both are ideal cycle, so the efficiency also same.
