Irreversible Gas Processes Explained by adminchem is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The Joule free expansion of a gas is an irreversible process where a gas is allowed to expand suddenly from a confined volume into a larger, evacuated volume. During this process, the work, heat, and particle transfers are all blocked. 2) For an ideal gas, the temperature remains constant during Joule expansion. However, real gases are shown to cool slightly due to the expansion. 3) The Joule-Thomson effect describes the cooling observed when a gas expands through a porous plug or throttle from high
