Abstract

A non-endoreversible Curzon and Ahlborn cycle is analyzed by introducing a factor of non-endoreversibility. The form of power output and ecological function, and the role of this factor is discussed. The Gutkowics-Krusin, Procaccia and Ross method to build a general expression for both the power output and the ecological function for this cycle is used. A numerical analysis of these expresions is made and the results are compared with other kind of approaches found in the literature of finite time thermodynamics.
