Summary: Problems of optimal control of thermodynamic processes of heat and mass transfer on contact of two systems are considered. The control signal is a vector of the temperatures and concentrations of one system, the parameters of the second being variable at a rate proportional to the heat and material flows. The limiting efficiency of the heat machine is found when the cycle duration and source capacities are bounded.
