← ScienceWhich outcome results when imperfect insulation impacts a Carnot engine?
A)Reduced area within PV diagram
B)Increased heat rejection to cold✓
C)Reversible adiabatic process remains intact
D)Isothermal expansion proceeds as planned
💡 Explanation
Increased heat rejection to the cold reservoir occurs because heat leaks alter expected *heat transfer*. Deviation lowers thermodynamic efficiency; therefore total net work decreases, rather than those idealized processes occuring.
