← ScienceWhich outcome regarding heat transfer arises when operating within *Carnot* cycle constraints?
A)Isothermal expansion rejects maximum heat✓
B)Adiabatic compression maximizes heat input
C)Heat loss always decreases
D)Isothermal compression equals maximum heat
💡 Explanation
Operating within *Carnot* cycle constraints causes maximum heat rejection during isothermal expansion because this reversible process maintains constant temperature while efficiently converting thermal energy to work using **isentropic expansion**, therefore maximizing efficiency, rather than options B/C/D which violate reversibility.
