Which outcome reduces efficiency as heat enters Brayton cycle?

💡 Explanation

Increasing inlet air temperature increases specific volume, which increases the compressor work during isentropic compression because more energy needed compresses larger volume; therefore the compressor requires more work relative turbine and overall efficiency decreases, rather than increased turbine enthalpy.
