I have the distinct impression that power plants, whether coal-fired
or nuclear, don't use internal-combustion engines, and Curzon and Ahlborn
said nothing about internal-combustion engines.
They compared their result with the
efficiencies of actual power plants and found agreement with their simple
formula, which is consistent with fuel having been historically cheap and
engines expensive.
