Question

Which, if any, of the following is an example of a throttling process?

• A. A reversible adiabatic process
• B. An isothermal process
• C. A constant volume process
• D. An isentropic process
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A A reversible adiabatic process

Given: Throttling process

Solution:

In throttling process, there is no change in enthalpy from initial to final state, heat transfer is zero (adiabatic) and no work is done.

So, reversible adiabatic process is an example of throttling process.

Hence the correct option is A.
