Resumen
In this paper we apply variational calculus procedures for the optimization of a Curzon-Ahlborn thermal cycle under the so-called modified ecological criterion. Our result for the optimum efficiency is the same that Velasco et al (2000 J. Phys. D 33 355) previously obtained by means of the method of the saving functions. Besides, we show that both the saving functions and the modified ecological criteria are equivalent.
