Which constraint limits maximum work when a Carnot engine undergoes a phase change at its hot reservoir?

💡 Explanation

Limited isothermal heat supply rate limits the work done in the Carnot cycle, because heat is transferred during the phase transition at constant temperature; therefore power declines due to constraint, rather than a change from initial entropy.
