← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a heat engine's condenser pressure increases?
A)Reduced temperature differential across the turbine✓
B)Increased combustion chamber temperatures needed
C)Improved overall thermal energy efficiency
D)Higher latent heat utilization by working fluid
💡 Explanation
A higher condenser pressure reduces the turbine's effective temperature differential, limiting power output because it decreases the Carnot efficiency; therefore, less energy is converted to work, rather than increasing thermal efficiency.
