Question:

Consider an ideal Stirling cycle engine in which the pressure, temperature and volume at the beginning of the isothermal compression process are 100 kPa, 15oC and 0.03 m3, the compression ratio is 8, and the maximum temperature in the cycle is 650oC. Determine
(a) The net work (Wnet),
(b) The thermal efficiency (ηth) and
(c) the mean effective pressure. Use the PG model.
