All gases above its inversion temperature, in a throttling process will show__________________?
Correct answer: B. A heating effect
- A. No change in temperature
- B. A heating effect
- C. A cooling effect
- D. Either A. or (C)
Explanation
Above the inversion temperature, the Joule-Thomson coefficient is negative, so a pressure drop during throttling causes the gas temperature to rise. This is called the heating effect.
