Which aspect limits maximum efficiency from a Carnot engine?

A)Irreversible heat leak losses
B)Reversible isothermal gas expansion
C)Adiabatic process endpoint temperatures
D)Isentropic compression volumetric changes

💡 Explanation

Irreversible heat leak limits Carnot efficiency because the entropy of the system increases, rather than remaining constant, and the cycle deviates from ideal conditions; therefore, A is the only choice because B, therefore, involve the ideal conditions.
