Which risk increases during a Carnot engine cycle?

💡 Explanation

Heat transfer to a cold reservoir must occur during the Carnot cycle to complete it; the mechanism describes heat expulsion to lower temperature. Therefore, heat transfer is required, rather than a theoretical 'zero' transfer, because isothermal compression demands waste heat rejection.
