All gases above its inversion temperature, in a throttling process will show__________________?

Correct answer: A. A heating effect

  • A. A heating effect
  • B. No change in temperature
  • 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.
