Thermal optimization of Curzon-Ahlborn heat engines operating under some generalized efficient power regimes

In order to establish better performance compromises between the process functionals of a heat engine, in the context of finite time thermodynamics (FTT), we propose some generalizations for the well known Efficient Power function through certain variables called <<Generalization Parameters>>. These generalization proposals show advantages in the characterization of operation modes for an endoreversible heat engine model. In particular, with introduce the k-Efficient Power regime. For this objective function we find the performance of the operation of some power plants through the parameter k. Likewise, for plants that operate in a low efficiency zone, within a configuration space, the k parameter allow us to generate conditions for these plants to operate inside of a high efficiency and low dissipation zone.
