General relations between the power, efficiency and dissipation for the irreversible heat engines in the nonlinear response regime

Abstract

We derive the general relations between the maximum power, maximum efficiency and minimum dissipation for the irreversible heat engine in nonlinear response regime. In this context, we use the minimally nonlinear irreversible model and obtain the lower and upper bounds of the above relations for the asymmetric dissipation limits. These relations can be simplified further when the system possesses the time-reversal symmetry or anti-symmetry. We find that our results are the generalization of various such relations obtained earlier for different heat engines.
