we already know that by expension the kinetic energy of molecules decreases hence causes a little decrease in temperature but when suuden expension takes place then fast moving molecules takes energy from that area and rapidly decrases temperature.

Now let's prove it mathematically we know that

PV=nRT

when expension occurs pressure decreases more than volume increses hence PV product decreases on the right hand R & n are same hence temperature decreases.

What will happen if a sudden expansion is provided immediately after the throat of a venturimeter?

The expansion will be uncontrolled and a considerable amount of eddying will occur downstream. This results in a higher friction loss and a lower pressure recovery.


Where does the exchange of gases occur in the plant?

During the stage of photosynthesis, the exchange of gases occur in the leaves.


Do clouds occur when moist air is cooled by compression or expansion?

Clouds occur when moist air is cooled. This usually a fall in barometric pressure, or expansion in our atmosphere. There are other factors at work, however, one of them is called adiabatic heating and cooling. When a volume of air is compressed, its temperature rises, and when it is decompressed, or expanded, then it cools. In the case of cloud formation, it is the drop in temperature by adiabatic cooling, and the content of moisture in the air, that make the difference in how clouds are formed.


What is thunder and how does it occur?

Thunder is a sound made by lightning, where the sudden increase in pressure and heat from the lightning causes a rapid expansion of air that resulted in a loud sound.

What energy conversions occur in a car engine?

Chemical energy in the petrol is converted to heat energy by igniting it with air. This causes an expansion of the gases which creates kinetic enrgy by moving pistons which connect to a crankshaft.
