Abstract
This paper demonstrates a detailed review of the performance of Stirling engine based on the thermodynamic methods like Finite Time Thermodynamic analysis, Finite speed thermodynamic analysis, Isothermal model, Non-ideal adiabatic method, CAFS: The Combined Adiabatic- Finite Speed Thermal Model and Polytropic analysis of Stirling engine with Various Loss mechanisms (PSVL) model are reported. The aim of the paper is to summarize overall research work being carried out worldwide on the thermodynamic performance evaluation of Stirling engine using different thermodynamic methods. In this paper, the conventional thermodynamic methods for GPU3 Stirling engine were compared. The outcome of this comparison revealed that PSVL was better than the other methods.
