Which 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.
