What is the physical state and pressure condition of refrigerant as it enters the condenser of a typical refrigeration system?

Alow-pressure vapor
Blow-pressure liquid
Chigh-pressure vapor
Dhigh-pressure liquid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) high-pressure vapor. In a typical refrigeration system, the refrigerant enters the condenser in a high-pressure vapor state. This is because the refrigerant has just been compressed by the compressor, which increases both the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. As the high-pressure vapor enters the condenser, it begins to give up its heat to the surrounding environment, causing the refrigerant to condense into a high-pressure liquid state before it exits the condenser. The other options are incorrect because low-pressure vapor would not have enough energy to flow through the system, and low-pressure or high-pressure liquid states would not be the condition of the refrigerant as it enters the condenser.
