Derive the Maxwell relation
The diagram below illustrates the Joule-Thomson throttling process for a porous barrier. A gas of volume , initially on the left-hand side of a thermally insulated pipe, is forced by a piston to go through the barrier using constant pressure . As a result the gas flows to the right-hand side, resisted by a piston which applies a constant pressure (with ). Eventually all of the gas occupies a volume on the right-hand side. Show that this process conserves enthalpy.
The Joule-Thomson coefficient is the change in temperature with respect to a change in pressure during a process that conserves enthalpy . Express the JouleThomson coefficient, , in terms of , the heat capacity at constant pressure , and the volume coefficient of expansion .
What is for an ideal gas?
If one wishes to use the Joule-Thomson process to cool a real (non-ideal) gas, what must the of be?
