Which outcome occurs when a flawed seal in a refrigerator Carnot engine degrades?

💡 Explanation

Reduced performance occurs because declining seal integrity reduces the refrigeration **adiabatic expansion**, allowing heat infiltration and reducing the temperature differential. Therefore the Coefficient of Performance drops because less heat is removed, rather than a temperature rise or electrical issue.
