    (2014-08-06) Gunawardana, KIM; Munindradasa, AMI; Munasinghe, R
    The Stirling engine was originally patented 1816 by the Reverend Robert Stirling, and was eighteen years before Carnot's ideas were published. It is a reciprocating engine that has proved reversible both practically and, thermodynamically [l]. The ideal Stirling cycle has the Carnot efficiency [2]. The Stirling engine is a closed cycle external combustion engine that employs a gaseous working fluid inside the engine.
