Joule-Thomson Coefficient pT

02/23/2011 4:51 AM

Hey guys,

I have question to Joule-Thomson Coefficient!

J-T Coefficient tells us the Temperature change of the gas by expansion prom pressure1 to pressure2.

As you can see in this table the J-T Coefficient depends on initial pressure and temperature.

When I have a closed tank, filled with Argon at 200 atm at 200 degC and I open the valve and let the gas expand, the pressure in the tank will drop with the time right.

Does it means that my J-T Coefficient will change (get better) by the time?!

Thanks for help!

... but don't forget to include the pressure and temperature of the vented gas!

"expansion from pressure1 to pressure2" is not the same as "taking a load of the gas away so that the pressure changes from P1 to P2".
