← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding Carnot efficiency limits?
A)Net energy creation violates conservation✓
B)Refrigerant overheating risks compressor damage
C)Expansion work becomes internally irreversible
D)Heat transfer lowers system temperature
💡 Explanation
Creating a 'perpetual' machine violates energy conservation law; because energy conversion during the Carnot cycle is fundamentally limited, attempt to generate more energy breaks this, therefore violating underlying physics, rather than compressor risks or heat-transfer imperfections.
