Pseudo Stirling cycle

The pseudo Stirling cycle, also known as the adiabatic Stirling cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle with an adiabatic working volume and isothermal heater and cooler, in contrast to the Stirling cycle with an isothermal working space. cite paper | first = | last = | author = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Brief History of Stirling Machines | version = | publisher = [http://GlobalCooling.com] | date = | url = http://www.globalcooling.com/pdfs/general_history.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 18 May 2008] The working fluid has no bearing on the maximum thermal efficiencies of the pseudo Stirling cycle.cite conference | first = G.

History

The pseudo Stirling cycle was designed to address predictive shortcomingscite conference | first = G.

Specifically, the ideal cycle does not give usable figures or criteria for judging the performance of real-world Stirling engines.
