← ScienceWhich process causes lowered energy efficiency due to throttling?
A)Joule-Thomson Expansion effect✓
B)Adiabatic temperature lapse rate
C)Seebeck voltage generation
D)Paramagnetic resonance damping
💡 Explanation
The Joule-Thomson Expansion (throttling) causes cooling; because pressure decreases without heat exchange, intermolecular forces cause temperature change; therefore refrigeration requires more compression, consuming more power, rather than isentropic expansion under reversible conditions.
