← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal short-circuiting in a Stirling engine cycle occurs?
A)Increased cyclic isothermal expansion duration
B)Reduced temperature gradient maintenance✓
C)Augmented pressure variation efficiency
D)Elevated regenerator material thermal stress
💡 Explanation
Reduced temperature maintenance results, due to compromised Stirling engine performance; because thermal short-circuiting bypasses the regenerator which reduces heat exchange. Therefore, the temperature differential is lower, rather than inducing thermal material stress at the regenerator.
