Joule-Thomson Effect
Introduction The Joule-Thomson Effect (also known as the Joule-Kelvin Effect) is a thermodynamic process where an ideal gas expands without any work being done on or by the system, resulting in a change of temperature. This effect is extensively used in refrigeration systems and air conditioning units. The Joule-Thomson Coefficient The Joule-Thomson coefficient, , quantifies…
