Which risk increases when attempting to operate a Carnot engine isothermally at speeds exceeding material limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased speed leads to oscillations beyond the frequency response of the metal; this causes metal fatigue, because cyclic stress concentrations will undergo work hardening and thus accelerating material cracking, therefore fatigue elevates rather than decreasing entropy, and heat transfer.
