The Stirling engine (invented in 1816 by Robert Stirling) is a heat engine that produces work
through cyclic compression and expansion of a gaseous working fluid, such as hot air. An idealized
cyclic process, aptly named the Stirling Cycle, for such an engine consists of four steps:
(A) isothermal expansion at the hot reservoir temperature, Th,
(B) isochoric (constant volume) heat rejection to a regenerative heat exchanger,
(C) isothermal compression at the cold reservioir temperature Tc, and
(D) isochoric heat absorption from the regenerative heat exchanger back to the initial state.
