Which limit reduces gas liquefaction during isothermal Carnot compression?

A)Surrounding system thermal losses exist
B)Compressor seal inefficiency is present
C)Latent heat exceeds gas capacity
D)Inlet pressure is consistently excessive

💡 Explanation

Vapor changes to liquid because the energy removal reduces freedom of movement, undergoing phase transition. The limit is the latent heat overpowering gas capacity, so liquefaction stops; therefore, the liquefaction rate is determined by heat capacity, rather than system inefficiencies.
