Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect When a non-ideal gas suddenly expands from a high pressure to a low pressure there is often a temperature change. Officially, the ratio of T/P is known as the Joule-Thomson coefficient. Note that, this is far from a reversible effect. It is however an adiabatic effect, and in many applications adiabaticity results from the simple fact that the pressure change occurs too quickly for significant heat transfer to occur. For many gases at room temperature, the T/P ratio is positive. Thus, a pressure drop is accompanied by a temperature drop. If T<Ti then cooling effect μ=+ve If T>Ti then heating effect μ=−ve
