So it has been asserted that a Stirling engine with proper regeneration can be made reversible. It will consist of two isothermal quasi-static processes connected by two constant-volume processes. The working gas is supposed to be heated/cooled through infinitesimal temperature differences (thus preventing the creation of entropy).
I'd like to know an explanation on the working gas properties during each step of the cycle. What are the state conditions for the gas at each of the points in the cycle (including inside the regenerator)? I've been looking for a the past week and found nothing.
