Stirling engine

Stirling engine. The principle of operation of the engine is constantly alternating heating and cooling of the working fluid in a closed cylinder. When the gas is heated, its volume increases, and when cooled — decreases, this property is used in the operation of an external combustion engine. The gas in the closed cylinder uses a Carnot cycle consisting of four phases and separated by two transition phases: heating, expansion, transition to a cold source, cooling, compression and transition to a heat s
