← ScienceWhich outcome manifests when isentropic stages replace isothermal stages in an Ericsson cycle?
A)Reduced cycle thermal efficiency
B)Increased work output
C)Constant cycle operating temperature
D)Equivalent Carnot cycle efficiency✓
💡 Explanation
Isentropic stages replacing isothermal result in a Stirling cycle using the same regenerator because heat transfer changes; therefore cycle efficiency is equivalent to the Carnot cycle rather than reduced, because this is heat recovery.
