Abstract

This paper presents an optimal performance analysis for an isothermal model which performs work at a steady state via the energy transfer from a chemical reaction, using the methodology of the so-called Finite Time Thermodynamics (FTT). Furthermore, three optimal operation modes namely, Maximum Power, Maximum Omega function and Efficient Power are presented for the model. Results show analogies in the optimal performance between thermal and isothermal engine models.
