Which risk increases when a Carnot engine runs indefinitely?

💡 Explanation

Increased entropy is inevitable due to the second law of thermodynamics because perpetual motion introduces inefficiencies via friction and imperfect heat transfer despite operating on the Carnot cycle; therefore entropy increases steadily rather than remaining constant as ideal Carnot conditions suggest.
