Abstract

A branch of finite-time thermodynamics (FTT) is the thermoeconomical analysis of simplified power plant models. The most studied models are those of the Curzon–Ahlborn (CA) and Novikov–Chambadal types. In the decade of 90’s of the past century, the FTT analysis of thermal engines was extended to chemical engines. In the present paper we made a thermoeconomical analysis of heat engines and chemical engines of the CA and Novikov types. This study is carried out for isothermal endoreversible chemical engine models with a linear mass transfer law and under three different modes of thermodynamic performance (maximum power, maximum ecological function and maximum efficient power).
