Which inefficiency increases when a real Carnot engine increases cycle rate?

💡 Explanation

Irreversible heat transfer causes inefficiencies because temperature gradients form within the working fluid during rapid changes, therefore the efficiency decreases rapidly rather than maintaining Carnot efficiency, and isobars are never sharp lines unlike adiabatic curves.
