Which consequence results when exceeding Carnot engine's high-temperature material limit?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the material limit disrupts the engine cycle causing seal failure because heat induces thermal expansion past design tolerances. Therefore, the seal is compromised rather than impacting transfer efficiency, cycle duration, or revolution number because material properties dictate the performance limits.
