Which outcome results when a non-ideal heat engine operates?

💡 Explanation

Due to irreversibilities, entropy generation occurs through frictional and thermal losses; therefore, the increase in entropy surpasses any theoretical minimum related to the heat input, rather than achieving perfectly convertible or reversible operation as in ideal cycles.
