← ScienceWhich effect predominates when a gas undergoes rapid expansion in a closed adiabatic refrigeration cycle?
A)Temperature drop due to internal energy conversion✓
B)Increased pressure due to molecular collisions
C)Phase transition due to reaching critical point
D)Entropy reduction due to ordering effects
💡 Explanation
During rapid adiabatic expansion in a refrigeration cycle, the gas performs work on its surroundings, converting internal energy into expansion work because no heat is exchanged. Therefore a temperature drop results, rather than increased pressure, phase change, or entropy reduction which require different thermodynamic conditions.
