← ScienceWhich risk increases when a Stirling engine's regenerator fails to properly approximate ideal isothermal functions?
A)Thermal acoustic oscillations start amplifying
B)Increased power losses in hysteresis appear✓
C)Radiative heat transfer spontaneously decreases
D)Increased flow velocity enables better control
💡 Explanation
Failing to maintain isothermal functions causes increased cycling between high/low temperatures; incomplete heat-exchange results in thermal hysteresis losses. Therefore, energy conversion becomes less efficient, rather than better, and other oscillation or transfer effects become secondary.
