Abstract

The finite-time thermodynamic performance of a generalized Carnot-cycle, under the condition of mixed heat-resistances, is studied. The optimal configuration and the fundamental optimal relation between power and efficiency of the cycle are derived. The results provide some guidance for the design of practical engines.
