In Joule-Thomson porous plug experiment, the__________________?

Correct answer: C. None of these

  • A. Enthalpy does not remain constant
  • B. Entire apparatus is exposed to surroundings
  • C. None of these
  • D. Temperature remains constant

Explanation

A porous-plug experiment is a throttling process, and for steady flow with negligible heat transfer, work, and kinetic-energy changes, enthalpy remains constant. Temperature need not remain constant because the Joule-Thomson effect may cause heating or cooling.
