Q198

The principle applied in liquefaction of gases is

A.
Adiabatic expansion
B.
Joule-Thomson effect
C.
Both A and B
Answer
D.
Neither A nor B

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The liquefication involves both adiabatic expansion and joule-thomson effect of change in pressure as we do the observations at adiabatic conditions during the flow of gas through orifice (joule Thomson effect).
