Which consequence results when a refrigeration cycle uses non-isentropic compressors?

A)Increased operating cost
B)Reduced heat transfer rate
C)Refrigerant phase change failure
D)Compressor motor overheating

💡 Explanation

Increased entropy generation causes higher work input because compression requires more energy than ideal isentropic compression. Therefore, the running cycles cost more, rather than different cooling capacity or compressor damage under typical use.
