Which inefficiency occurs when a Carnot engine operates without lubrication?

💡 Explanation

Increased friction during the cycle heats the working fluid, making it a non-ideal Carnot cycle because the adiabatic expansion leaks heat at each stage. Therefore, the total energy transfer declines rather than reduced cooling, because energy input increases.
