Which limitation arises when an engine operates near absolute zero?

💡 Explanation

Carnot efficiency depends on the temperature difference; nearing absolute zero reduces it because the low-temperature reservoir approaches 0K. Therefore, efficiency declines, rather than combustion issues arising or material properties changing significantly at these low temperatures.
