Q87

Gases are cooled in Joule-Thomson expansion, when it is __________ inversion temperature.

A.
Below
Answer
B.
At
C.
Above
D.
Either B or C

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Above the inversion temperature joule-thomson coefficient
So, by throttling (decreasing the pressure) the temperature increases and hence heating.
Below the inversion temperature houle-thomson coefficient
So,by throttling the temperature decreases hence cooling.
