Which performance limit occurs for cascaded Carnot engines?

💡 Explanation

The overall efficiency of cascaded Carnot engines is always lessened by losses; because each stage's efficiency multiplies, the total is lower than optimal, therefore the combined efficiency decreases, rather than a flow problem or individual overheating influencing limits.
