The effects of inefficiencies in the compression, expansion and regeneration processes on engine performance have been evaluated theoretically for a Stirling heat engine operating in a closed regenerative thermodynamic cycle. The irreversible cycle has been optimized by using the maximum power density technique. Maximized power and maximized power density are obtained for different
