In this manner, why throttling is done?
Throttling process : The process in which a high pressure fluid is converted to low pressure by using a throttle valve is Throttling . In throttling process enthalpy remains constant ,work done is 0. Throttling is a process in which the flow of fluid is restricted by closing the valve partially.
Secondly, is a throttling process reversible? A throttling process is a thermodynamic process, in which the enthalpy of the gas or medium remains constant (h = const). On the other the throttling process cannot be isentropic, it is a fundamentally irreversible process. Characteristics of throttling process: No Work Transfer.
Beside this, what happens during a throttling process?
A throttling process is defined as a process in which there is no change in enthalpy from state one to state two, h1 = h2; no work is done, W = 0; and the process is adiabatic, Q = 0. An example of a throttling process is an ideal gas flowing through a valve in mid position.
What is throttling process in refrigeration?
Throttling is a constant enthalpy process in which pressure is reduced which leads to decrease in temperature in case of VCR Refrigerants and produce cooling. Without throttling such low temperatures can not be achieved in VCR systems.
