English abstract:
In the classical experiment of Joule and Thomson, a gas passes through a porous plug. The pressure difference between the upstream and the downstream side of the porous plug causes a temperature difference. Here, the flow process is described for the case that the fluid may condense, and the pressure loss is caused by a thin capillary. The process is calculated assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium and one-dimensional temperature and pressure distributions, respectively.
A vapor far from saturation does not condense, and the temperature and pressure distribution for the common Joule-Thomson process is recovered. A vapor close enough to saturation may condense partially or completely, and a liquid or a two-phase mixture flows through a part of the capillary. The thermodynamic path of the fluid is presented in temperature-entropy and pressure-temperature diagrams.
