← ScienceWhich outcome results when operating a Sterling engine above design RPM?
A)Reduced thermodynamic cycle efficiency appears
B)Increased engine structural fatigue forms✓
C)Over-pressurization becomes relatively minimized
D)Improved regenerator heat soaking happens
💡 Explanation
Increased RPM leads to increased stress cycles, therefore increased engine structural fatigue appears due to exceeding material limits through Wöhler's Fatigue Curve, rather than efficiency losses or over-pressurization from steady operations expected at lower RPM.
