← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during the refrigeration cycle's compression stage?
A)Temperature increases, entropy decreases.✓
B)Pressure decreases, volume increases.
C)Latent heat transfer occurs.
D)Refrigerant condenses immediately.
💡 Explanation
During compression, work is done on the refrigerant via adiabatic compression increasing its temperature; because enthalpy increases during compression, the refrigerant becomes superheated adding measurable thermal energy, rather than just latent heat effects therefore, only (A) is correct.
