← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigerator operates with increased thermal losses in its reversed Carnot cycle?
A)Decreased cooling effect occurs inside✓
B)Coefficient of Performance increases sharply
C)Entropy of surroundings decreases steadily
D)Refrigerant remains entirely vaporized
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal losses require increased work to remove heat due to entropy generation. Therefore, the cooling effect decreases, because less heat is extracted from the cold reservoir, rather than improving performance or reducing environmental entropy.
