← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an ideal closed Brayton cycle operates far from equilibrium?
A)Increased isentropic efficiency degradation occurs
B)Compression ratios reach theoretical limits
C)Internal irreversibilities severely decrease output✓
D)Net cycle work approaches maximum value
💡 Explanation
Output declines when the Brayton cycle operates irreversibly because internal irreversibilities reduce efficiency. Specifically entropy generation via friction dominates, therefore less work is extracted, rather than achieving ideal efficiency.
