Stirling Cycle for a Refrigerator

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

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

Formula

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

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