Which of the following has the minimum value of COP for a given refrigeration effect ?

Correct answer: D. Air refrigeration cycle

  • A. Reverse Carnot cycle
  • B. Ordinary vapour-compression cycle
  • C. Vapour-compression process with a reversible expansion engine
  • D. Air refrigeration cycle

Explanation

The reverse Carnot cycle gives the maximum COP between specified temperature limits, while regenerative or reversible expansion improves vapour-cycle performance. The air refrigeration cycle generally has the lowest COP because gas compression and expansion provide relatively little refrigeration effect per unit work.
