Which outcome follows exceeding the maximum temperature for an organic Rankine cycle working fluid?

💡 Explanation

When the maximum temperature is reached, the organic fluid undergoes thermal decomposition due to the scission of chemical bonds, leading to alteration in its properties and reduced performance reducing cycle efficiency. Therefore, fluid degradation is the primary consequence, rather than increased output, condensation or low viscosity which depend on lower temperatures.
