Which outcome limits power extracted from a Carnot engine?

💡 Explanation

Engine power is limited when irreversible entropy generation occurs because mechanical energy is lost as waste heat; therefore, less power is available to be extracted, rather than the volume or fluid capacity being relevant under ideal reversible conditions.
