The thermal efficiencies of several thermodynamic cycles are evaluated and compared for the condition of maximum specific net work output for a specified cycle temperature ratio. It is shown at this condition that the efficiencies of all of the cycles are very similar and that an objective selection of a cycle for a particular application cannot be made on the basis of thermal efficiency alone. The different cycles are then compared with respect to other important design parameters for the optimized condition and comments are made with regard to power generation and the associated controlling rate processes.
