Abstract
We develop an alternative thermodynamic cycle for the Stirling machine, where the polytropic process plays a central role. Analytical expressions for pressure and temperatures of the working gas are obtained as a function of the volume and the parameter which characterizes the polytropic process. This approach achieves a closer agreement with the experimental pressure-volume diagram and can be adapted to any type of the Stirling engine.
