cult to perform in reality, it
makes sense to use similar approaches in the design of a thermodynamic cycle for
magnetic refrigeration. The reason for this is that the low-

Despite the fact that the real Stirling cycle is dif

eld iso
(de)magnetization processes may follow the regenerative process with lower irre-
versible losses than the case with the Ericsson or Brayton regenerative cycles,
which operate between two constant magnetic

eld and high-

elds. This is due to the similar

temperature entropy variation in both iso-magnetization processes.
