Abstract
It is shown that the Curzon-Ahlborn engine, a prototype of an endoreversible engine, has the same efficiency as that of an unequally heated body that produces maximum work when perfect thermodynamic engines equalize its temperature. Maximum power output and finite-time operations are completely illusory.File in questo prodotto:
