← ScienceWhich increasing risk results when the refrigeration cycle in a cryocooler operates outside optimal frequency?
A)Thermal losses increase disproportionately✓
B)Compressor efficiency reaches unity
C)Cryostat temperature stabilizes rapidly
D)Acoustic impedance is nearly zero
💡 Explanation
Inefficient frequency operation leads to increased irreversibilities; therefore, thermal losses grow when the frequency deviates, because irreversible expansion overcomes refrigeration gain, rather than efficient cooling at targeted rates.
