Question

What is meant by inversion temperature ?

Answer 1

According to joule Thomson effect, inversion temperature of gases is the critical temperature below which a non ideal gas experiences a decrease in temperature while expanding at constant enthalpy. Above the inversion temperature, it experiences an increase in temperature while expanding.

Answer 2

The inversion temperature in thermodynamics is the critical temperature below which a non-ideal gas that is expanding at constant enthalphy will experience a temperature decrease and above which will experience a temperature increase.The temperature change is also called Joule-Thomson effect
