Which outcome occurs when an ideal Carnot engine's hot reservoir temperature falls during isothermal expansion?

💡 Explanation

Carnot efficiency depends on the temperature difference; heat leaks cause a drop in temperature, reducing efficiency because efficiency is proportional to (1- Tc/Th) with Th decreasing. Therefore the device is negligibly efficient, rather than improved refrigeration or ceasing of operation without heat input change.
