Abstract: The fundamental optimum formula,the relation between the maximum power output and efficiency,of a heat engine operating between two finite heat sourecs and the criteria of finite time thermodynamics on the parameter selection of the engine are derived.Moreoyer, some wrong conclusions in the related literature are pointed out.

Key words: operating parameter, finite time thermodynamics, optimal criterion
