Stirling cycle machine

The purpose of this device is to familiarize with the Stirling cycle and the principles of its operation.
The working of the Stirling engine was first developed by Robert Stirling in 1816. He expressed. According to his definition, this device is able to convert thermal energy directly into mechanical energy, which is done without using chemical processes. Of course, according to the second law of thermodynamics, this process must be accompanied by heat exchange with a cold source. The Stirling cycle consists of two constant volume processes and two constant temperature processes. In recent years, Stirling cycle engines have been recovered as external combustion.
