Abstract
An optimal power analysis is conducted on an endoreversible Stirling c ycle with perfect regeneration. The endoreversible cycle is one in whi ch the external heat transfer processes are the only irreversible proc esses of the cycle. Maximum power and efficiency at maximum power are obtained for the cycle based upon higher and lower temperature bounds. These results provide additional criteria for use in the study and pe rformance evaluation of Stirling engines.
