All gases except ____________ shows a cooling effect during throttling process at atmospheric temperature and pressure?
Correct answer: D. Hydrogen
- A. Oxygen
- B. Nitrogen
- C. Air
- D. Hydrogen
Explanation
At ordinary atmospheric conditions, hydrogen is above its Joule-Thomson inversion temperature, so throttling produces heating rather than cooling. Oxygen, nitrogen and air normally cool under these conditions.
