← ScienceWhich performance outcome of a jet engine increases closer to Carnot efficiency?
A)Higher exhaust gas temperatures
B)More efficient fuel combustion
C)Greater ratio of compressor pressure✓
D)Reduced turbine blade erosion
💡 Explanation
Closer approximation requires improved heat transfer, therefore a greater ratio of compressor pressure achieves a greater temperature difference following Carnot cycle principles, rather than altered exhaust temperatures because those change due to turbine load.
