Which constraint affects maximum Carnot engine mechanical work?

💡 Explanation

The maximum work of a Carnot engine is limited by the Temperature difference because Heat to Work Conversion efficiency increases proportionally. Therefore, a smaller temperature difference restricts performance, rather than purely mechanical tolerances under stress.
