Which efficiency consequence results when a refrigeration cycle deviates from isentropic compression?

A)Increased superheating efficiency
B)Reduced compressor thermodynamic efficiency
C)Greater evaporator cooling potential
D)Enhanced condenser heat rejection rate

💡 Explanation

Reduced compressor thermodynamic efficiency occurs because irreversibilities during non-isentropic compression generate more entropy. Therefore, more work is needed for the same cooling load, rather than the ideal scenario where entropy remains constant during compression.
