A positive value of Joule-Thomson coefficient of a fluid means

  • A. Temperature drops during throttling
  • B. Temperature remains constant during throtting
  • C. Temperature rises during throttling
  • D. None of these

Answer: A. Temperature drops during throttling

Explanation: Joule-Thomson coefficient \mu = dT/dP. In throttling dP is negative. If \mu is positive, dT must be negative (cooling).
