F. Wu et al., PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION CRITERIA FOR FORWARD AND REVERSE QUANTUMSTIRLING CYCLES, Energy conversion and management, 39(8), 1998, pp. 733-739
The optimal performance for forward and reverse quantum Stirling cycle
s is studied in this paper. The finite time thermodynamic performance
bound and optimization criteria for these cycles are derived. The opti
mal relations between the performance parameters for quantum Stirling
engines, refrigerators and heat pumps are obtained. Published by Elsev
