Which consequence results when deviating from the Carnot cycle during rapid compressor operation?

💡 Explanation

Deviating from the isothermal and adiabatic processes reduces the maximum ideal efficiency, because the increased irreversibilities affect the total entropy change. Therefore the theoretical efficiency decreases, rather than affecting only heat transfer characteristics or enthalpy, at only a given temperature.
