MCQ
Irreversible process is
- AAdiabatic process
- ✓Joule-Thomson expansion
- CIdeal isothermal process
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Joule-Thomson expansion
b
The method of expansion in which a gas or liquid at pressure $P_1$ flows into a region of lower pressure $P_2$ without significant change in kinetic energy, is called the Joule-Thomson expansion. The expansion is inherently irreversible.
