Answer / rakesh nagdev
A Stirling engine is a device that converts heat energy
into mechanical power by alternately compressing and
expanding a fixed quantity of air or other gas (the working
fluid) at different temperatures.

Answer / alpha
its va reciprocating engine with a toggle lever like
mechanism..... one end is kept coldn the other is kept
hot.... high efficiency!!

Answer / karthick
stirling cycle consists of two isothermal and two isochoric
process.by effective regeneration in stirling cycle it is
possible to achieve very close efficiency to carnot cycle

Answer / suryamack
Stirling engine is known for its silent opertion B'coz its
not an IC engine (external combustion engine).
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 2 Yes | 2 No |
Answer / prbalaji
Air expands on cooling and contracts on cooling this is the
basic principle of it.one end is kept hot and the other
cold.the efficiency depends on the diff in temperature.
