← ScienceWhich efficiency limit occurs across heat engines using isothermal compression?
A)Limited by the Carnot efficiency✓
B)Affected by Seebeck coefficient limits
C)Restricted by minimum power density
D)Constrained by conduction temperatures
💡 Explanation
Carnot efficiency governs idealized heat engine performance, because isothermal compression within the Carnot cycle defines the maximum attainable efficiency for converting thermal energy to work. Therefore, Carnot efficiency limits these engines, rather than Seebeck effects or conduction limits which stem from design
