Which outcome increases entropy in a refrigeration cycle when cooling?

A)Compressor inefficiency causes heat generation.
B)Refrigerant pressure remains ideally constant.
C)Capillary tube throttling nears adiabatic.
D)Evaporator absorbs latent condensation heat.

💡 Explanation

Increased compressor inefficiency elevates cycle temperatures thus increasing entropy generation because adiabatic conditions are not maintained. This outcome increases overall system disorder; therefore, entropy rises because heat addition dominates rather than ideal reversible compression processes occurring.
