Which consequence dominates the throttling process (Joule-Thomson effect) concerning practical limitations of liquefying gases?

💡 Explanation

The Joule-Thomson effect cools some gases when expanded; however, if the starting temperature is above its inversion temperature, heating occurs, because attractive intermolecular forces dominate, therefore gases cannot be liquefied merely by throttling under all starting conditions, rather than phase change failing.
