← ScienceWhich consequence results when extreme surface tension occurs in a Stirling engine?
A)Decreased displacer piston lubrication✓
B)Increased engine crankshaft rigidity
C)Improved thermal energy absorption
D)Reduced connecting rod thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
High surface tension impedes the flow of the working fluid, causing decreased displacer piston lubrication because the fluid wets components poorly; therefore, premature wear and failure occur rather than enhanced lubrication or improved thermal characteristics.
