Show affiliationsWe present a simplified model for an irreversible Otto cycle which accounts for the characteristic power-versus-efficiency curve of real heat engines. This model avoids the usual hypotheses of endoreversible heat engines and it considers an air Otto engine with internally dissipative friction and a pure sinusoidal law for the piston velocity on the adiabatic branches.
