Which limitation occurs as heat leakage increases in cryocooler heat exchangers designed after the Carnot cycle?

A)Decreased Coefficient of Performance prevails
B)Lower temperature gradient exploitation forms
C)Refrigerant fluid compressibility rises
D)Heat exchanger material sublimation starts

💡 Explanation

Increased heat leakage drops Carnot cryocooler efficiency because heat introduction bypasses the intended isothermal compression/expansion; the Coefficient of Performance (COP) decreases therefore, rather than temperature gradients becoming unexploitable unless heat flow fundamentally changes.
