22. Stirling vs. Carnot for given limits of volume, pressure, and temperature 22 On PV plane, the black area represents the Carnot cycle, and shaded areas represent addition work done by the Stirling cycle. On TS plane, the black area represents the Carnot cycle, and the shaded areas represent additional heat taken in by the Stirling cycle. The Stirling cycle and the Carnot cycle have the same thermal efficiency. The Stirling cycle take in more heat and give more work than the Carnot cycle. Walker, Stirling Engine, 1980.

26. 26 Issues with the in-dome Carnot cycle Process 1-2 limits the maximum temperature below the critical point (374°C for water) Process 2-3. The turbine cannot handle steam with a high moisture content because of the impingement of liquid droplets on the turbine blades causing erosion and wear. Process 4-1. It is not practical to design a compressor that handles two phases. Issues with supercritical Carnot cycle Process 1-2 requires isothermal heat transfer at variable pressures. Process 4-1 requires isentropic compression to extremely high pressures. Carnot cycle is unsuitable as vapor power cycle

33. Summary Engine converts fuel to motion. Refrigerator and heat pump use work to pump heat from a place of low temperature to a place of high temperature. Many ideal cycles are internally reversible, but externally irreversible. Stirling and Ericsson cycles are internally and externally reversible, so they have the same thermal efficiency as the Carnot cycle. Use ideal-gas model to analyze gas as working fluid. Use property table to analyze vapor as working fluid. Model piston engine as a closed system (Otto, Diesel, Stirling, Ericsson). Model turbine (or compressor) device as steady-flow components in series (Brayton cycle, Rankine cycle, refrigeration cycle). 33
