← ScienceWhich outcome results when a Stirling engine cycles too rapidly?
A)Reduced heat exchanger effectiveness✓
B)Increased isothermal compression work
C)Higher regenerator thermal efficiency
D)Decreased indicated mean effective pressure
💡 Explanation
Reduced rapid cycling time leads to incomplete heat transfer during the cycles. Therefore, the heat exchanger effectiveness diminishes because the **thermal inertia** resists temperature change at operating frequency, rather than operating according to thermodynamic equilibrium during heat exchange.
