Why temperature does not drop when ideal gas is throttled?


12 Views

Enthalpy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only. h=h(T), which requires that temperature remains constant when the enthalpy remains constant. Therefore, the throttling process can not be used to lower the temperature of an ideal gas.
