I know these equations for efficiency: effc=1-(Tc/Th) eff=W/Qin

I have been searching Google for various information. On a few sites they use the carnot efficiency for Stirling engines which I wasn't sure if that was the correct equation. On other sites the equations used calculus that I haven't used before.

Not sure if this should be posted in the general physics forums or in the hw/coursework section. I'm in my second semester of general physics and have to do a class project. For my project I built an alpha type Stirling engine. In the paper I need to write I need to explain how it works using...
