Ericsson Cycle: Processes, PV–TS Diagram, Efficiency and Applications
The Ericsson cycle is an ideal regenerative thermodynamic cycle having two isothermal processes and two constant-pressure regenerative processes. Like the Stirling cycle, the Ericsson cycle also uses regeneration to recover heat within the cycle. The ideal Ericsson cycle is considered important in thermodynamics as it achieves the same …
Stirling Cycle: Working Principle, Four Processes, PV–TS Diagram and Efficiency
Stirling cycle is a regenerative, closed thermodynamic cycle that operates with a heat source which is external. Unlike other thermodynamic cycles like Rankine cycle or Carnot cycle, where the heat is directly added inside the working system, in the Stirling cycle, heat is added through external heat exchanger. …
