Joule-Thomson experiment is__________________?

Correct answer: D. Both B. & C.

  • A. Isobaric
  • B. Adiabatic
  • C. Isenthalpic
  • D. Both B. & C.

Explanation

In the Joule-Thomson experiment, the porous-plug process is steady-flow, adiabatic, and has negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy, giving h1 = h2. Thus it is both adiabatic and isenthalpic.
