How do you graph volume vs. crank angle?

   Hi,
   The idealized Stirling cycle consists of four thermodynamic processes acting on the working fluid
   
       * Points 1 to 2, Isothermal Expansion. The expansion-space is heated externally, and the gas undergoes near-isothermal expansion.
       * Points 2 to 3, Constant-Volume (known as isovolumetric or isochoric) heat-removal. The gas is passed through the regenerator, thus cooling the gas, and transferring heat to the regenerator for use in the next cycle.
       * Points 3 to 4, Isothermal Compression. The compression space is intercooled, so the gas undergoes near-isothermal compression.
       * Points 4 to 1, Constant-Volume (known as isovolumetric or isochoric) heat-addition. The compressed air flows back through the regenerator and picks-up heat on the way to the heated expansion space.
