← ScienceWhich risk increases when a Stirling engine cycle operates at excessively high temperatures?
A)Reduced pressure for power output
B)Increased thermal structural fatigue✓
C)Decreased regenerator void efficiency
D)Elevated fuel flashpoint threshold
💡 Explanation
Increased operating temperature accelerates creep; therefore, thermal fatigue rises at high temperature because vacancy diffusion increases, rather than other issues like reduced pressure which are separate failure modes at lower temperature.
