Nonlinear Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of a Carnot Engine Cycle

As part of the efforts to unify the various branches of Irreversible Thermodynamics, the proposed work reconsiders the approach of the Carnot engine taking into account the finite physical dimensions (heat transfer conductances) and the finite speed of the piston. The models introduce the irreversib...
