Stirling Engine

The hot reservoir is located on the bottom side of the apparatus and the cold reservoir is on the top side.What we predicted would happen when the ice was placed was that the engine would take energy from the hot reservoir Qh and use it to do work(W), while Qc would be exhausted to the ice. The larger the disparity in temperature the more efficient the engine becomes. What actually happened is exactly what we predicted!
