← ScienceOn a Carnot heat engine utilizing a non-ideal gas, deviations from expected work output arise because of which energy exchange mechanism?
A)Van der Waals Force variations✓
B)Heat Conduction inefficiencies
C)Joule-Thomson Expansion losses
D)Turbulent Kinetic Energy dissipation
💡 Explanation
Actual gases deviate because intermolecular forces impact volume changes; this alters isentropic process work during each Carnot cycle stage because the Van der Waals Force affects gas behavior rather than simple PV=nRT assumptions.
