In Carnot & Stirling cycle there were 2 isothermal processes. but in Stirling engine other 2 processes are constant volume processes whereas in Carnot other 2 processes are isentropic processes.
Stirling engine has low maintenance and easy to built because of there construction.
Both cycle's efficiencies near to same. but operating according to there applications.
What is the difference between ideal and actual cycle?
The Carnot cycle gives the theoretical maximum efficiency of an engine operating between two heat reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is an idealized engine cycle that is thermodynamically reversible. Real systems such as power plants are not reversible, and the entropy of a real material changes with temperature (which is not accounted for by the Carnot cycle). A steam power plant operates closer to a cycle known as the Rankine cycle.
no, a Carnot cycle is not practiclly possible.bcz carnot consist of two cycles. i.e 1-rev. adiabatic 2-isothermal
The three most efficient machines are typically considered to be the Carnot engine, the Stirling engine, and the gas turbine. The Carnot engine represents an idealized thermodynamic cycle with maximum efficiency based on temperature differences. The Stirling engine operates on a closed cycle, utilizing external heat sources to achieve high efficiency. Gas turbines are highly efficient in converting fuel into mechanical energy, especially in power generation and aviation applications.
because it is the best theoretical engine. our aim is always to make our practical engine as close as that of carnot. if u don't know about the carnot cycle then how will u do that.

carnot cycle is the highiest efficiency
reversible.But always remember that a carnot cycle is an idealized cycle and it is not

the Carnot cycle has 2 constant specific volume processes (heat in & heat out) the air refrigeration cycle is based on a brayton cycle which has two constant pressure processes.
The Carnot cycle is a mathematical description of an engine that derives its power from heat.
The Carnot cycle was proposed by Nicolas L©onard Sadi Carnot in 1823. It is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle. It is the most efficient cycle for creating a temperature difference.

Brayton cycle: It is open cycle. Rankine cycle: It's close cycle. Brayton cycle: Mostly used in gas turbine engine. Rankine cycle: Mostly used in power generation plant. Brayton cycle: Resemble less to Carnot cycle. Rankine cycle: Resemble is more to Carnot cycle.
