MCQ
The temperature of the system decreases in an
  • A
    Adiabatic compression
  • B
    Isothermal compression
  • C
    Isothermal expansion
  • Adiabatic expansion

Answer

Correct option: D.
Adiabatic expansion
(d)When a real gas is forced through a porous plug into a region of low pressure, it is found that due to expansion, the gas on the side of low pressure gets cooled.
The phenomenon of producing lowering of temperature when a gas is made to expand adiabatically from a region of high pressure into a region of low pressure is known as Joule-Thomson effect.
