Summary
The flow through the regenerator of a Stirling engine is driven by differences of pressure in the compression and expansion spaces. These differences lead to power dissipation in the regenerator. Using the linearized theory, it is shown that this dissipation severely limits the maximum attainable thermal efficiency and nondimensional power output.
