Abstract
The Stirling heat engine operating in a closed regenerative thermodyna mic cycle is analyzed. Polytropic processes are used for the power and displacement pistons. Following regeneration, the maximum power densi ty and efficiency are found and the compression ratio at maximum power density is determined. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
