During Joule-Thomson expansion of gases_________________?

Correct answer: A. Enthalpy remains constant

  • A. Enthalpy remains constant
  • B. Entropy remains constant
  • C. Temperature remains constant
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Throttling is a steady-flow process with negligible heat and work transfer, making it isenthalpic, so enthalpy remains constant. Entropy generally increases and temperature need not remain constant.
