← ScienceWhich limitation results when a Carnot engine's temperature reduces?
A)Reduced maximum theoretical thermodynamic efficiency✓
B)Increased internal compressor lubricant viscosity
C)Elevated probability of structural superconduction
D)Diminution of the electrical resistance heating
💡 Explanation
Decreasing the Carnot engine's cold reservoir temperature reduces the maximum accessible efficiency because the Carnot efficiency depends directly on the temperature ratio, therefore less work can be extracted rather than due to altered lubricant viscosity.
