Abstract: By considering heat and mass transfer (HMT) coupling, an endoreversible non-isothermal chemical pump cycle model is established and the optimal performance is studied herein. Assuming that the HMT follows Lewis analogy (heat transfer (HT) process obeys Newton's HT law and mass transfer (MT) process obeys diffusion MT law), rate of energy-pumping (Σ) and its corresponding vector coefficient of performance (χT and χμ, which are defined herein) are deduced analytically. Based on the general optimization results, the special examples of endoreversible Carnot heat pump with Newton's HT law and the endoreversible isothermal chemical pump with diffusion MT law are further deduced. The effects of heat flux rate (q1) and mass flux rate (g1) on the optimization results are analyzed. The Σ increases with the increases of q1 and g1. The surface of Σ to [χT,χμ] is a monotonically decreasing plane, and the Σ decreases with the increases of χT and χμ. The special cases of endoreversible Carnot heat pump with Newton's HT law and endoreversible isothermal chemical pump with diffusion MT law are further obtained. The Σ and χμ obtained by endoreversible non-isothermal chemical pump are larger than those obtained by endoreversible isothermal chemical pump. Coupling effect of HMT increases Σ and χμ, but correspondingly decreases χT.
