← ScienceWhich performance drop becomes significant in a Carnot engine operating at extremely high cycle frequencies?
A)Increased frictional losses dominate power
B)Deviation from isothermal processing increases✓
C)Kinetic energy exceeds thermal energy
D)Quantum tunneling bypasses heat transfer
💡 Explanation
The isothermal expansion and compression phases will deviate because time becomes insufficient for heat exchange; therefore the heat engine's performance is reduced, rather than losses increasing or tunneling, due to high cycle frequencies preventing ideal conditions.
