文摘By using finite-time thermodynamics, the optimal performance of a Stirling heat engine with thermal resistance, heat leak and regenerative loss is studied. The fundamental optimal relation is derived and the bounds of power output and efficiency are deduced from it. Then the significance of the relation and bounds are revealed. The results obtained here may provide some new theoretical guides for the optimal design of Stirling heat engines.
