## Abstract The cornerstone of finiteโtime thermodynamics is all about the price of haste and how to minimize it. Reversible processes may be ultimately efficient, but they are unrealistically slow. In all situationsโchemical, mechanical, economicalโwe pay extra to get the job done quickly. Finiteโ
## Abstract Review: ca. 200 refs.
Power optimization approaches are unified for various energy converters, such like: thermal, solar, chemical, and electrochemical engines. Thermodynamics leads to converter's efficiency and limiting power. Efficiency equations serve to solve problems of upgrading and downgrading of resources. While
