Thermodynamics of Endoreversible Engines by Daniel Paixão is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Thermodynamics of Endoreversible Engines about?

The document discusses the thermodynamics of endoreversible engines, particularly the Curzon-Ahlborn engine, and critiques the conditions for reversibility in such systems. It argues that the efficiency of these engines can be derived from the principle of maximum work and highlights flaws in existing theoretical frameworks. The paper concludes that the established conditions for maximum power output are misleading and presents a revised understanding of thermodynamic efficiency in finite-time operations.
