(2) At ordinary temperatures all gases except hydrogen and helium show cooling effect. (3) The change in temperature is direetly proportional to the difference in pressure on the thwo sides of the parous plug, (4) The fall in temperature decreases as the initial temperature of the gas is raised (It becomes zero at a particular temperature which is different for different gases. Above this temperature, instead of cooling, heating is observed. The temperature at which Joule-Kelvin effect changes the sign is called as lemperature of inversion Thus, every gas below its temperature of inversion will cool on passing through porous plug. The inversion temperature of nydrogen is -80 °C. So, if it is pre-cooled to a temperature less than -80 °C and then passed through the porous plug, it suffers cooling.)
