← ScienceWhich mechanism limits peak compressor efficiency involving R-134a?
A)Internal turbulent fluid kinetic energy
B)Refrigerant two-phase flow throttling✓
C)Compressor bearing friction rate increase
D)Condenser tube wall heat resistance
💡 Explanation
Two-phase flow throttling degrades performance, because vapor bubbles create energy losses through the Joule-Thomson effect resulting in volumetric inefficiencies. Therefore two-phase flow limits compressor effectiveness rather than turbulent kinetic energy, which would impact efficiency differently.
