Which outcome results when the compression's irreversibility increases through a refrigeration cycle?

A)Reduced coefficient of performance (COP)
B)Increased cooling capacity achieved
C)Lower energy consumption by compressor
D)Higher temperature differential at evaporator

💡 Explanation

The coefficient of performance decreases when irreversible processes increase entropy, because the additional work needed offsets useful cooling, therefore COP diminishes rather than increases elsewhere, where ideal cycles maintain higher efficiency.
