Abstract
Heat engines are the devices which convert the thermal energy into mechanical work, while heat pumps transfer heat energy from low temperature to high temperature. In this chapter, thermal modeling of different types of heat engines and heat pumps like Carnot heat engine, Rankine heat engine, Ericsson heat engine, Stirling heat pump, Brayton heat pump, etc. is presented. The objective function of each of the heat engine and the heat pump is derived from the thermal model. Optimization of a derived objective is performed by implementing 11 different metaheuristic algorithms for each heat engine, and heat pump and comparative results are tabulated and discussed.
