← ScienceWhich consequence results when irreversible processes dominate turbine cycles?
A)Increased entropy production in the system✓
B)Maximized energy conversion efficiency obtained
C)Isothermal expansion becomes more efficient
D)Decreased exergy destruction within the cycle
💡 Explanation
Irreversible processes raise entropy because the available energy decreases via the mechanism of viscous heating and friction; therefore, entropy throughout expands rather than allowing efficient isothermals achieved by reversibility minimizing dissipated energies.
