Which consequence results when non-isentropic compression impacts a Stirling engine's cycle?

💡 Explanation

Increased non-isentropic compression leads to greater entropy generation, reducing the efficiency because more energy is dissipated as heat due to increased cycle irreversibility, therefore, efficiency is reduced rather than the fluid reaching a critical temperature.
