โ ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding Carnot cycle efficiency?
A)Violation of Clausius statement occursโ
B)Increase in refrigeration coefficient achieved
C)System thermal equilibrium is maintained
D)Heat engine perpetual motion begins
๐ก Explanation
Exceeding Carnot efficiency equates to net heat transfer upwards โ from cold to hot spontaneously. This necessitates a violation of the Clausius statement because this statement directly forbids this upward heat transfer without external work, rather than other outcomes related to equilibrium or perpetual motion.
