1. However, the article describes an application of the Stirling Cycle with phase change. 2. In a patent application to the WIPO called " Stirling Cycle Machine Improvements," 3. He called this cycle the'pseudo-Stirling cycle'or'ideal adiabatic Stirling cycle '. 4. He called this cycle the'pseudo-Stirling cycle 'or'ideal adiabatic Stirling cycle '. 5. Most thermodynamics textbooks describe a highly simplified form of Stirling cycle consisting of four processes. 6. The "'Stirling cycle "'is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices. 7. The cycle used by the Malone engine is a modified version of the Stirling Cycle . 8. Previous high resolution thermal sensors required exotic and expensive cooling methods including stirling cycle coolers and liquid nitrogen coolers. 9. The Stirling cycle is a highly advanced subject that has defied analysis by many experts for over 190 years. 10. The first known mention of a Stirling cycle machine using freely moving components is a British patent disclosure in 1876.
