For a Carnot engine operating with ammonia, which outcome occurs with decreased condenser cooling?

💡 Explanation

Lower condenser cooling raises the cold reservoir temperature, so the Carnot cycle's efficiency declines according to its formula: η = 1 - (Tc/Th). Thus, the engine’s thermal efficiency decreases and its work output drops, because less thermal energy converts to work, rather than increasing.
