Question:
Nitrogen can be liquefied using a Joule-Thomson expansion process. This is done by rapidly and adiabatically expanding cold nitrogen gas from high pressure to a low pressure. If nitrogen at 135 K and 20 MPa undergoes a Joule-Thomson expansion to 0.4 MPa,
a. Estimate the fraction of vapor and liquid present after the expansion, and the temperature of this mixture using the pressure-enthalpy diagram for nitrogen.
b. Repeat the calculation assuming nitrogen to be an ideal gas with C∗P = 29.3 J/(mol K).
