Which consequence results when the reversible isothermal expansion stage fails in a Carnot engine?

💡 Explanation

Reduced engine efficiency occurs because the expansion fails to extract/convert heat to work and maintain constant temperature preventing ideal heat transfer. Thermal energy no longer transforms effectively, therefore efficiency drops, rather than enhancing heat rejection or isentropic compression.
