Which consequence results when a turbine's Brayton cycle deviates from isentropic compression?

💡 Explanation

Reduced efficiency occurs, because entropy increase dictates less work output; therefore, reduced efficiency, rather than other factors dictates the outcome because of irreversibility of the thermodynamic cycle. The mechanism at play is entropy production.
