← ScienceWhich energy dissipation grows as Stirling engine speed decreases?
A)Thermal conduction losses intensify✓
B)Regenerator matrix pressure drop increases
C)Mechanical friction rapidly diminishes
D)Cyclical hysteresis significantly accelerates
💡 Explanation
Slower engine speeds permit more time for heat to conduct through the engine materials because THERMAL CONDUCTION dominates at lower cycle frequencies; therefore thermal loss increases, rather than pressure losses or hysteresis, which are less impacted near-static conditions.
