Which limitation results when a Carnot engine's temperature reduces?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the Carnot engine's cold reservoir temperature reduces the maximum accessible efficiency because the Carnot efficiency depends directly on the temperature ratio, therefore less work can be extracted rather than due to altered lubricant viscosity.
