Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract This comment examines an article that develops a counterclockwise reversible Stirling cycle whose coefficient of performance equals that of a Carnot refrigerator. Unfortunately, among other issues, the proposed cycle is never in thermodynamic equilibrium and thus cannot match an idealized reversible Carnot.
