Not to disturb these discussions, I think we should open the discussion about Stirling efficiency and practice.
The majority say that the Stirling efficiency is ideally the Carnot efficiency. That is, it would depend only on Th and Tc through eff=1-Tc/Th
From this formula we deduce that the efficiency increases with the Th-Tc temperature difference and with the compression ratio V2/V1
