This gives a framework where irreversibilities and thus entropy production only occur in interactions, while subsystems (engines, for instance) act as reversible. In order to give an opportunity to incorporate dissipative engines with given efficiencies into an endoreversible model, we build a new dissipative engine setup. To do this, in the first step, we introduce a more general interaction type where energy loss not only results from different intensive quantities between the connected subsystems, which has been the standard in endoreversible thermodynamics up to now, but is also caused by an actual loss of the extensive quantity that is transferred via this interaction. On the one hand, this allows the modeling of leakages and friction losses, for instance, which can be represented as leaky particle or torque transfers. On the other hand, we can use it to build an endoreversible engine setup that is suitable to model engines with given efficiencies or efficiency maps and, among other things, gives an expression for their entropy production rates. By way of example, the modeling of an AC motor and its loss fluxes and entropy production rates are shown.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e21111117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]],"date-time":"2019-11-15T11:24:32Z","timestamp":1573817072000},"page":"1117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Dissipative Endoreversible Engine with Given Efficiency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Robin","family":"Masser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Physik, Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz, 09107 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl Heinz","family":"Hoffmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Physik, Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz, 09107 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"62","DOI":"10.1063\/1.2916405","article-title":"Thermodynamics in Finite Time","volume":"37","author":"Andresen","year":"1984","journal-title":"Phys.
