Which outcome reduces efficiency during a refrigeration cycle?

A)Increased throttling via Joule-Thomson effect
B)Isothermal compression becoming fully reversible
C)Adiabatic expansion approaching isentropic perfection
D)Efficient condensing via radiative cooling

💡 Explanation

Increased throttling results in less expansion and cooling because the Joule-Thomson effect causes a temperature increase due frictional losses in the valve. Therefore the refrigerating efficiency decrease, rather than achieving reversible compression, as that would increase efficiency.
