We consider typical problems of the field called the finite time thermodynamics (also called the optimization thermodynamics). We also outline selected formal methods applied to solve these problems and discuss some results obtained. It is shown that by introducing constraints imposed on the intensity of fluxes and on the magnitude of coefficients in kinetic equations, it is possible not only to investigate limiting possibilities of thermodynamic systems within the considered class of irreversible processes, but also to state and solve problems whose formulation has no meaning in the class of reversible processes.This article is part of the themed issue 'Horizons of cybernetical physics'.
我们考虑了被称为有限时间热力学（也称为优化热力学）领域的典型问题。我们还概述了用于解决这些问题的选定形式方法，并讨论了所获得的一些结果。结果表明，通过引入对通量强度和动力学方程中系数大小的约束，不仅可以研究在所考虑的不可逆过程类别内热力学系统的极限可能性，而且还可以提出并解决在可逆过程类别中其表述没有意义的问题。本文是主题为“控制论物理学的前沿”特刊的一部分。
