Which risk increases when turbines operate sub-optimally near Carnot efficiency?

💡 Explanation

Operating near Carnot efficiency requires minimizing temperature differences, which leads to erratic and potentially higher cycle frequencies; because blade vibration induces fatigue, therefore fatigue risk increases, rather than other thermal failures at normal operating temperatures.
