← ScienceWhich outcome arises when excessively rapid compression interrupts Carnot cycle equilibrium?
A)Reduced refrigerating heat transfer coefficient
B)Increased entropy generation internally✓
C)Higher mechanical compression power input
D)Decreased isentropic volume expansion ratio
💡 Explanation
Increased entropy generation occurs because irreversibilities from finite-time compression supersede ideal reversibility in the Carnot cycle, therefore internal entropy, rather than refrigeration or mechanical inefficiencies, dominates due to thermodynamic limitations during rapid actions.
