← ScienceWhich operational limit arises when maximizing a Carnot engine's efficiency?
A)Infinite heat transfer rates✓
B)Zero temperature differential used
C)Adiabatic component inefficiencies appear
D)Isothermal process compression limits
💡 Explanation
Carnot efficiency dictates infinitely fast processes approach maximum, because increased average temperature from rapid Heating reduces irreversibility. therefore infinite heat transfer overcomes engine inefficiencies, rather than temperature differentials improving efficiency.
