Which consequence results when a refrigeration cycle employing a Carnot engine operates with irreversible compression?

💡 Explanation

Irreversible compression leads to an increase in entropy generation (internal irreversibility); because irreversibilities diminish the energy retrieval, the coefficient of performance decreases, therefore it demands more work than required, rather than behaving ideally under reversible processes.
