Which limit occurs as input temperature decreases in a Carnot engine?

💡 Explanation

Efficiency decreases toward zero because Carnot efficiency depends on the temperature difference; at lower input temperatures, the difference shrinks. Therefore the engine becomes less efficient rather than more, because the temperature differential cannot be high.
