Pseudo Stirling cycle
The pseudo Stirling cycle, also known as the adiabatic Stirling cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle with an adiabatic working volume and isothermal heater and cooler, in contrast to the Stirling cycle with an isothermal working space.[1] The working fluid has no bearing on the maximum thermal efficiencies of the pseudo Stirling cycle.[2]

History
The pseudo Stirling cycle was designed to address predictive shortcomings[2] in the ideal isothermal Stirling cycle. Specifically, the ideal cycle does not give usable figures or criteria for judging the performance of real-world Stirling engines.
gollark: Nope.
gollark: It makes the only practical thing be `print("BEES"*something)`.
gollark: Well, this is actually bad, see.
gollark: So it... can't have delimiters?
gollark: `for x in "aaaa":print("BEES"*99)` you, then.
