Which risk increases when the Carnot cycle’s hot reservoir has limited enthalpy?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cycle efficiency and output occur because the limited enthalpy restricts the heat input, impairing the Isothermal Expansion mechanism. Therefore, the engine performs poorly, rather than facing component corrosion or combustion issues, which arise under different failure conditions.
