Which performance consequence results when friction increases in a heat engine?

💡 Explanation

An increase in friction promotes greater dissipation reducing the useful energy from output because more input energy becomes heat. Therefore, the energy conversion is reduced, rather than increasing exhaust temperature directly influencing the efficiency.
