Low-dissipation heat devices: Unified trade-off optimization and bounds

We apply a unified and trade-off based optimization for low-dissipation models of cyclic heat devices which accounts for both useful energy and losses. The resulting performance regime lies between those of maximum first-law efficiency and maximum ? (a unified figure of merit corresponding to power...
