Response to Stirling engine efficiency

Post by jp_reilly »

Hi Guys,

All the posts so far are really interesting. Like the first question i'm interested in determining the efficiency of a Stirling engine. I understand that efficiency is a ratio between the power input and output but my main query is regarding the key perfomance indicators of a Stirling engine ie is the efficiency solely dependent on the cooling water temperature.

Thanks,
John
