Carnot efficiency is reachable in an irreversible process

In thermodynamics, there exists a conventional belief that “the Carnot efficiency is reachable only in the reversible (zero entropy production) limit of nearly reversible processes.” However, there is no theorem proving that the Carnot efficiency is unattainable in an irreversible process. Here, we...
