In the Joule-Thomson process, a temperature change occurs when a real gas or liquid expands or is compressed adiabatically while flowing through a valve or throttling device. The process is performed at constant enthalpy.
Joule-Thomson process is extremely useful and economical for attaining low temperature. The process can be categorized as
