Heat engines performing finite time Carnot cycles are described by positive irreversible entropy functions added to the ideal reversible entropy part. The model applies for macroscopic and microscopic (quantum mechanical) engines. The mathematical and physical conditions for the solution of the power maximization problem are discussed. For entropy models which have no reversible limit, the usual "linear response regime" is not mathematically feasible; i.e., the efficiency at maximum power cannot be expanded in powers of the Carnot efficiency.
