Solution
The correct answer is c. The second cycle will have a higher Coefficient of Performance (COP). This is because the refrigerant enters the evaporator at a lower enthalpy when it is subcooled. This means it can absorb more heat before reaching the compressor, which increases the efficiency of the cycle.

Which of the following statements are true regarding throttling valves?Group of answer choicesThrottle valves are flow restricting devices that cause a pressure drop in a fluid.The pressure drops across a throttle valve is often accompanied by a large increase in temperature.The flow through a throttle valve may be assumed to be adiabatic.Since pressure drops across a throttle valve, work cannot be neglected.For a single stream, steady flow throttle valve, the inlet and outlet enthalpies can be approximated to be the same.
