Which efficiency limit occurs when imperfect heat transfer?

💡 Explanation

The non-ideal Carnot cycle efficiency limits power because irreversible heat transfer causes entropy generation, therefore extracted work will decrease rather than matching theoretical maximum efficiency under ideal reversible conditions. So A is true result.
