Which limitation arises because isothermal stages operate infinitely slowly in a heat engine with a Carnot cycle?

💡 Explanation

Because isothermal processes require infinitely slow operation to maintain thermal equilibrium, power output approaches zero because there's no practical temperature difference for heat transfer, rather than alternatives that focus solely on component failure or declining efficiency in other cycles.
