Global Stability of the Curzon-Ahlborn Engine with a Working Substance That Satisfies the van der Waals Equation of State

In this paper, we show an analysis of the global stability of a Curzon–Ahlborn engine considering that the working substance of the engine satisfies the Van der Waals equation of state, which is more general than the ideal gas case. We use the Lyapunov stability theory for the case where the engine...
