Abstract

By using the method of finite-time thermodynamics,the optimal performance of a Stirling heat engine under the influence of finite heat capacities,thermal resistance and regenerative loss was studied.Some new performance parameters were obtained.The conclusions may provide some new theoretical guidance for the manufacture and optimal design of Stirling heat engines.
