摘要
The efficiency at the maximum power(EMP)for finite-time Carnot engines established with the low-dissipation model,relies significantly on the assumption of the inverse proportion scaling of the irreversible entropy generationΔS^(ir)on the operation timeτ,i.e.ΔS^(ir)∝1/τ.The optimal operation time of the finite-time isothermal process for EMP has to be within the valid regime of the inverse proportion scaling.Yet,such consistency was not tested due to the unknown coefficient of the 1/τ-scaling.In this paper,we reveal that the optimization of the finite-time two-level atomic Carnot engines with the low-dissipation model is consistent only in the regime ofη_(C)<<2(1-δ)/(1+δ),whereη_(C)is the Carnot efficiency,andδis the compression ratio in energy level difference of the heat engine cycle.In the large-η_(C)regime,the operation time for EMP obtained with the low-dissipation model is not within the valid regime of the 1/τ-scaling,and the exact EMP of the engine is found to surpass the well-known boundη_(C)=η_(C)/(2-η_(C)).
