(∂T/∂P)H is the mathematical expression for__________________?
Correct answer: A. Joule-Thompson co-efficient
- A. Joule-Thompson co-efficient
- B. Specific heat at constant volume (Cv)
- C. Specific heat at constant pressure (Cp)
- D. None of these
Explanation
The Joule-Thomson coefficient is defined as μJT = (∂T/∂P)H, describing the temperature change with pressure during constant-enthalpy throttling. It is not a heat capacity, since Cp and Cv relate heat transfer to temperature change under specified constraints.
