摘要
A chemical engine processes mass flow to convert the differences in chemical potentials into work. An isothermal endoreversible chemical engine, in which the sole irreversibility is finite-rate mass transfer, is modeled in this paper. The expression of maximum power from the model using the analogous method of finite-time thermodynamics for a combined-cycle heal engine is derived. An important result shows that the efficiency at maximum power output is half of the maximum efficiency for chemical and heat engines. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
