← ScienceWhich outcome follows when a Carnot heat engine prematurely terminates steam condensation?
A)Increased internal energy exhausted✓
B)Reduced isentropic compression achieved
C)Isothermal expansion incomplete
D)Decreased turbine blade erosion
💡 Explanation
Increased internal energy exhaust happens because premature condensation termination short-circuits the phase change; the latent heat release (condensation) ends before completely transitioning to liquid. Therefore, excess heat is dumped, rather than efficient energy extraction because the expansion step becomes less efficient.
