In the Stirling cycle shown in figure, process ab is an isothermal compression, process bc is heating at constant volume, process cd is an isothermal expansion, and process da is cooling at constant volume. Find the efficiency of the Stirling cycle in terms of the temperatures Th and Tc and the volumes Va and Vb.
