Which consequence results when excessive frictional losses appear in a Carnot engine?

💡 Explanation

Excessive friction increases irreversibility, diminishing efficiency because it dissipates energy as heat, hindering ideal energy transfer. Therefore, the thermal efficiency decreases; rather than amplifying reversible actions as irreversible effects dominate during the Carnot cycle.
