← ScienceWhich consequence of adiabatic compression impacts a Stirling engine cycle?
A)Increased internal energy and temperature✓
B)No heat transfer and isothermal
C)Decreased entropy and phase change
D)Constant volume and isobaric process
💡 Explanation
Adiabatic compression raises the internal energy of the working fluid due to the Work-Energy principle; because the system is insulated. Therefore, the temperature increases rather than remaining constant during isothermal compression, altering cycle efficiencies.
