← ScienceWhich limit emerges when a closed-cycle turbine experiences irreversible adiabatic compression?
A)Decreased turbine power output✓
B)Increased component material yield
C)Maintained constant cycle frequency
D)Unaffected Carnot efficiency value
💡 Explanation
Decreased turbine power output occurs because **entropy generation** within irreversible adiabatic compression reduces the Carnot cycle’s work extraction. Therefore, less work is produced rather than maintaining frequency or material yielding, different performance factors.
