Abstract: In this paper, the highest and the lowest bounds of the efficiency and power if an irreversible steady-state-flow Carbon engine with external thermal resistance and internal heat leak were studied. Some significant discussions were done.From this,two new criteria for the selection of the working parameters of the engine were provided.

Key words: finite-time thermodynamics, irreversible engine, performance bound
