Which efficiency limitation is directly imposed on regenerative Brayton cycle operating approximating a Carnot cycle?

💡 Explanation

When a regenerative Brayton cycle tends approximates to a Carnot cycle, efficiency hits the Carnot limit because heat exchange must occur across vanishingly small temperature differences to be reversible. Therefore approximately equal temprature differences become critical design limiting factor instead of other design parameters.
