← ScienceWhich limitation raises fuel consumption in Carnot engines?
A)Isothermal expansion cooling requirements✓
B)Adiabatic compression heating losses
C)Cyclic frequency reaching acoustic limits
D)High temperatures decreasing material strength
💡 Explanation
Isothermal expansion must absorb heat for constant temperature, thus imposing a cooling requirement. Maintaining ideal Carnot efficiency is impossible because isothermal expansion necessitates substantial controlled dissipation rather than truly reversible heat transfer; therefore, options B, C, and D relate to friction or failure.
