Molecular kinetic analysis of a finite-time Carnot cycle
We study the efficiency at the maximal power ηmax of a finite-time Carnot cycle of a weakly interacting gas which we can regard as a nearly ideal gas.In several systems interacting with the hot and cold reservoirs of the temperatures T h and Tc, respectively, it is known that ηmax …
