4. Functional kinematics
The Stirling engine operates on a 4-stroke cycle, which has a number of special features compared with conventional engine cycles. The working fluid circulates in a closed circuit, and is heated in a high-temperature heater. The fluid is usually helium or hydrogen, both of which have excellent thermal conductivity. The cooling of the working fluid in the cooler can be compared by analogy with the intake stroke of a conventional engine.
