Approaching the idealized Stirlig cycle in the adsorption-desorption semi-batch unit
Please, see [4] for details and mass and energy balances
An adsorption-desorption cycle (1-2-3-4) vs. the idealized Stirling cycle (1'-2'-3-4')
of the gas at the same hot (TH) and cold (TC) temperatures
An adsorption-desorption unit (cycle:1-2-3-4 on the left) where valves 1,2,3,4 serve to switch between adsorption and desorption; 5, 6 to regenerate heat; 7, 8, 9 to produce electricity (power)
