Which process limits compressor efficiency violating Carnot principles?

A)Isothermal compression reduces expansion stroke
B)Adiabatic compression increases fluid temperatures
C)Eutectic freezing reduces latent heat
D)Endothermic reaction reduces heating stages

💡 Explanation

Adiabatic compression of the working fluid raises its temperature, limiting the upper bound permitted by the Carnot cycle, because isentropic processes are ideal, reducing compression efficiency significantly. Therefore, compressor output degrades, rather than other phases changing or reactions occurring.
