Abstract

In this work we show the results obtained from optimizing a completely irreversible power cycle model in the "Efficient Power Output" working regime. Starting from a model of an irreversible energy converter that operates in cycles, we build different characteristic functions. One of them is the "Efficient Power Output" used by Stucki (and later by Yilmaz). We compare the performance of the converter in this working regime with those of maximum power output, maximum efficiency and maximum ecological function, and we find that its power output is similar to that of maximum power output working regime, its efficiency is comparable to the maximum efficiency working regime, but its dissipation is bigger than the dissipation of the maximum ecological function working regime.
