Thermodynamic analysis of general heat engine cycle with finite heat capacity rates for power maximization

In this study, the ideal cycles with finite heat capacity rates is investigated theoretically to maximize power generation using a sequential Carnot cycle model. Although the Carnot efficiency is important, it is limited to evaluating only in terms of heat source/sink temperatures. For the actual he...
