@#@# : Explain the working principle behind a Stirling engine and its advantages over conventional internal combustion engines.
Added by James S.
Step 1
It was invented by Robert Stirling in 1816. The engine uses a closed thermodynamic system, meaning the working fluid is sealed within the engine and circulates continuously. Show more…

The Stirling engine was first patented in 1816 but has not been widely commercialized. Still, efforts continue to develop Stirling engine technology for practical uses such as vehicle propulsion. Prepare a memorandum summarizing the status of Stirling engine technology. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Stirling engines and assess the likelihood that they will be more widely used in the future.
