Carnot cycle is also know as striking cycle. So the answer is equal efficiency.

Pankaj babu said:   1 decade ago
Efficiency of the striking cycle is less than Carnot but efficiency of regenerative striking cycle is equal to Carnot cycle.

ROHIT KUMAR said:   1 decade ago
The efficiency of Stirling cycle is equal to Carnot cycle. This is due to the fact that the cycle is reversible and all reversible cycles have the same efficiency.

Ex: Carnot, Stirling, Ericsson.

Efficiency of sterling cycle is equal to Carnot cycle under the assumption that effectiveness of heat ex changer use in sterling engine must be 1.

Gautam said:   1 decade ago
Regenerative striking cycle has the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle.

AJAYRAJ SOLANKI said:   1 decade ago
Equal efficiency to carnot cycle and Stirling cycle.

Kumaresan said:   1 decade ago
Carnot cycle says 100% efficiency. But stirling cycle have some heat losses are there. So how to say equal efficiency?

Piyush said:   1 decade ago
In a special case efficiency of both the cycle is equal otherwise carnot cycle is more efficient. Therefore option A should be correct.

Dantes said:   1 decade ago
Carnot cycle is more efficient than Stirling cycle.

Mayur said:   1 decade ago
Carnot cycle is maximum efficient cycle compared to all the cycle since the conditions are ideal and there will be no losses.
