Joule-Thomson Effect History of Joule Thomson Effect:-
The effect is named after James Prescott
Joule and William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who discovered it in 1852. It followed upon earlier work by Joule on Joule expansion, in which a gas undergoes free expansion in a vacuum and the temperature is unchanged, if the gas is ideal. Introduction In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect (also known as the Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect) describes the temperature change of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is forced through a valve or porous plug while keeping it insulated so that no heat is exchanged with the environment. This procedure is called a throttling process or Joule–Thomson process.At room temperature, all gases except hydrogen, helium, and neon cool upon expansion by the Joule–Thomson process when being throttled through an orifice; these three gases experience the same effect but only at lower temperatures. Most liquids such as hydraulic oils will be warmed by the Joule–Thomson throttling process. The gas-cooling throttling process is commonly exploited in refrigeration processes such as air conditioners, heat pumps, and liquefiers. In hydraulics, the warming effect from Joule– Thomson throttling can be used to find internally leaking valves as these will produce heat which can be detected by thermocouple or thermal-imaging camera. Throttling is a fundamentally irreversible process. The throttling due to the flow resistance in supply lines, heat exchangers, regenerators, and other components of (thermal) machines is a source of losses that limits the performance Definition:-
The cooling is produced when a gas is
allowed to expand through a narrow orifice containing porous plug is called Joule-Thomson Effect. Experimental Arrangement Working:-
Work done by Piston M1 on the gas = f1x1
Work done by Piston M2 on the gas = (P1A)x1 Work done by Piston M3 on the gas = P1V1 Work done by Piston M2 = P2V2 The net W.D by gas is given as : dw= p2v2-p1v1 The net heat transfer dϴ is zero because System is well insulted. The internal energy of the molecules of gas before passing the porous plug is U1 and internal energy of molecule of gas after passing the porous plug is U2. The Change in internal energy is given below: dEin = U1-U2 The First Law of thermodynamics given as : dEin = dϴ+dw U1 - U2 = 0 + P2V2 - P1 V1 U1 + P1 V1 = U2 + P2 V2 This relation can be written as U+PV = constant H = constant It shows entholpy of a gas suffering a throttling process remains constant .The same gas keeping pressure and temperature. Series of observations are takken on the same on left side of porous plug But varying the pumping rat so that pressure and temperature on right side of porous plug changes. The maximum slope of an isothalpic curve on diagram at any point is called Joule Kelvin coefficient. µ=∂T/∂p The value of µ is zero at inversion point.The region inside the inversion curve is called cooling region and µ is negative outside this region and called region of heating.The enthalpy of the system is defined as : H=U+PV dH=dU+PdV+VdP dH=dϴ+VdP dH=TdS+VdP---------(1) Consider that entropy of system is function of temperature and pressure and written as : S=s(T,P) ds=(∂S/∂T1)dT+(∂S/∂p)dP-----------(2) Put eq(2) in eq(1) dH=T(∂S/∂T)pdT+T(∂S/∂P)TdP+VdP dH=CpdT+[T(∂S/∂P)+V]dP Using Maxwell’s fourth equation (∂S/∂P)=- (∂V/∂T)and dH=0 because H is constant. 0=CpdT+[-T(∂V/∂T)+V]dP CpdT=[T(∂V/∂T)+V]dP dT/dP=1/Cp x[T(∂V/∂T)-V] µ=V/Cpx[T/Vx(∂V/∂T)-1] This is called Thermodynamics expression for Joule -Thomson coefficient. For Joule- Thomson expression,we shall drive an equation 1st law of thermodynamics gives: dϴ=dV+pdV 2nd law of thermodynamics gives: dϴ=Tds Comparing Tds=dv+pdv As Tds=dv+d(pv)-vdp T(∂S/∂P)=(∂U/∂P)+(∂(pv)/∂P)-v Using Maxwell's fourth equation (∂S/∂P)=-(∂V/∂T) -T(∂V/∂T)=(∂U/∂P)+(∂(PV)/∂P)-V T(∂V/∂T)-V=-(∂U/∂P)-(∂(PV)/∂P) µCp=-(∂U/∂P)-(∂(PV)/∂P) µ=-1/Cpx(∂U/∂P)-1/Cpx(∂(PV)/∂P) The first term on R.H.S accounts for deviation from joules thomson law and second term accounts for deviation from Boyle law for real gases. For ideal gas both term on R.H.S reduce to zero. It means ideal gas shows no cooling or heating effect on suffering a throttling process. Thanks:-
