Stirling Cycle for a Heat Pump

The Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices.

The thermal efficiency equals the ratio of the hot temperature of the cycle to tje difference between the hot and cold temperatures of the cycle.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["η", "th"], "ThermalEfficiency"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "h"], "Temperature"]/(-QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "c"], "Temperature"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "h"], "Temperature"])

symbol description physical quantity
ηth thermal efficiency "ThermalEfficiency"
Th hot reservoir temperature "Temperature"
Tc cold reservoir temperature "Temperature"
