Because efficiency of Stirling and Ericsson cycles same as that of Carnot cycle.

What ericsson cycle?

Laxman chauhan said:   1 decade ago
Ericsson cycle consist of two isothermal and two isobaric (p=c).

These cycle is near to carnot cycle and all process are reversible.

How to connect with carnot cycle?

M.NARESH KUMAR said:   1 decade ago
Since Stirling cycle and Ericsson cycle efficiencies are equal to Carnot cycle efficiency.

As the above two cycles consists of two isothermal processes in their respective sequence of processes and isothermal is an ideal process, it exists only if the cycle is reversible.

According to my knowledge carnot cycle is irreversible, it has highest efficiency than any other thermodynamic cycle then how can Ericsson cycle (reversible cycle) has equal to carnot cycle?

Varma Savan said:   10 years ago
Answer is false. All this cycle which given in this question are reversible. Only the throttling process is the irreversible process.

@Bhaskar.

Carnot cycle is a reversible cycle & we cannot make any process reversible in real practice. Hence it is considered as an ideal cycle.

What are reversible cycle and non reversible cycle.

Pavan.CH said:   8 years ago
I think both cycles are semi reversible why because in Stirling cycle last two processes use generator to make the cycle reversible.
