Maximum Work and Efficiency of an Irreversible Regenerative Stirling Cycle
On a stationary irreversible regenerative Stirling cycle model, the effect of two sources of irreversibilities (limited rate of heat transfers and heat leak) is investigated....
Maximum Power and Efficiency to Maximum Power for a Power Plant with n Carnot-Like Cycles
The performance of a stationary power plant with n Carnot-like cycles is optimized. The following irreversibilities exist in each cycle: finite rate heat transfers between...
