← ScienceWhich effect results when a Stirling engine operates isothermally without pressure drops?
A)Increased heat transfer effectiveness
B)Higher network efficiency
C)Reduced power output density✓
D)Lower regenerative losses
💡 Explanation
Operating isothermally without pressure drops reduces power output density because isochoric heat transfer becomes more limiting, therefore the engine produces less work per cycle rather than gaining efficiency; alternative cycles prioritize speed.
