Which outcome occurs when real heat engine efficiency approaches theoretical Carnot efficiency?

💡 Explanation

When real heat engine efficiency approaches the Carnot limit isothermal and adiabatic processes become nearly reversible as friction is minimized, preventing the conversion of work into heat, increasing device performance therefore increased efficiency results from minimized friction rather than ideal energy conversion, exaggerated temperature gradients, or higher internal irreversibilities.
