16. Thermal engine designates here an apparatus (or plant) operating between two heat reservoirs and encompasses both heat engines (used to produce work from thermal energy) as well as refrigerators and heat pumps (used to transfer thermal energy by consuming work, either for cooling or heating).

29. The usual sign convention is adopted for heat transfers and work done, which is to take them as intrinsically positive quantities, and to define their algebraic signs according to the direction in which their transfers take place, as indicated by the arrows in the diagrams.
30. The frictionless FOM's follow by dropping from the quantities that are explicitly identified with friction.
31. The assumption has also been made, when comparing an engine with friction with its frictionless counterpart, that the working fluid goes through the same thermodynamic cycle, as discussed at length in Ref., where it is not only justified why such an assumption comes forth naturally, but outlined as well why the main result herein does not depend on it [essentially because only first-order terms have been retained in the expansions].
