Which outcome occurs within a Carnot refrigerator operating irreversibly?

💡 Explanation

Reduced coefficient of performance is expected because real-world irreversibilities increase entropy generation in the working fluid, thus lessening the cooling achieved for a given work input. Therefore, the COP is lower rather than higher because heat is not as efficiently transferred in irreversible operation.
