Which outcome results when the Carnot engine's expansion is too rapid?

💡 Explanation

Increased rate causes inefficiency because it deviates from quasi-static equilibrium during adiabatic expansion. Mechanism is therefore irreversible heat transfer, giving energy losses, because the system loses ideal conditions from kinetic energy, rather than staying close.
