Throttling process is a/an _____________ process?

Correct answer: B. Irreversible and constant enthalpy

  • A. Reversible and isothermal
  • B. Irreversible and constant enthalpy
  • C. Reversible and constant entropy
  • D. Reversible and constant enthalpy

Explanation

In throttling, there is no appreciable work or heat transfer, so the steady-flow energy balance gives h1 = h2. The process is irreversible because it involves a pressure drop through a valve with entropy generation.
