← ScienceWhich consequence results when exhaust temperature diminishes in a Carnot engine?
A)Efficiency increase reaches diminishing returns✓
B)Engine’s power generation decreases non-linearly
C)Isothermal expansion approaches adiabatic process
D)Thermal energy is completely converted work
💡 Explanation
The efficiency increase slows because Carnot efficiency depends non-linearly on the temperature difference; diminishing the cold reservoir impact decreases relatively to the hot. Therefore, efficiency improvements saturate, rather than engine power dropping like in option B with practical constraints.
