This paper deals with various energy converters, in particular thermal or chemical engines and fuel cells. Applying a general thermodynamic framework we derive formulae for converters' efficiencies and apply them to estimate power limits in these power systems. We consider power limits for thermal systems propelled by differences of temperatures and chemical or electrochemical systems driven by differences of chemical potentials. We focus on fuel cells which are the electrochemical energy generators. We show that fuel cells satisfy the same modeling principles as thermal machines and apply similar computational schemes.
