Which outcome results when the compression's irreversibility increases through a refrigeration cycle?

💡 Explanation

The coefficient of performance decreases when irreversible processes increase entropy, because the additional work needed offsets useful cooling, therefore COP diminishes rather than increases elsewhere, where ideal cycles maintain higher efficiency.
