← ScienceWhich outcome follows surpassing Stirling engine's design compression ratio?
A)Increased internal mechanical stress✓
B)Improved isothermal heat absorption
C)Elevated thermodynamic efficiency overall
D)Higher working gas permeability
💡 Explanation
When the compression ratio exceeds design limits, internal stresses rise because the mechanism of increased cycle pressure produces forces surpassing safe levels for components; therefore, mechanical stress increases rather than efficiency gains arising during standard operation.
