Joule-Thomson effect

Also known as the Joule-Kelvin effect. When a Gas expands through a porous plug, a change of temperature occurs, proportional to the pressure difference across the plug. The temperature change is due to a departure of the gas from Joule's Law, the gas performing internal work in overcoming the mutual attractions of the Molecules and thus cooling itself; and partly to deviation of the gas from Boyles law. The latter effect can give rise to either to cooling or heating, depending upon the initial temperature and pressure difference used. For a given mean pressure, the temperature at which the two effects balance, resulting in no alteration of temperature, is called the inversion temperature. Gases expanding through a porous plug below their inversion temperature are cooled, otherwise they are heated.
