← ScienceWhich efficiency limit occurs during an irreversible refrigeration cycle?
A)Reduced coefficient of performance✓
B)Increased heat transfer irreversibility
C)Decreased condenser saturation pressure
D)Elevated compressor volumetric efficiency
💡 Explanation
An irreversible refrigeration cycle leads to a reduced Coefficient of Performance because entropy generation increases during the cycle, which lessens useable cooling, therefore, COP falls rather than improves because other thermodynamic losses are increased.
