Which outcome occurs when a closed refrigeration system undergoes rapid throttling?

💡 Explanation

The temperature decreases rapidly downstream because throttling is an isenthalpic process approximating constant enthalpy; therefore, a large pressure drop increases the refrigerant's volume rather than its temperature, lowering temperature because of the Joule-Thomson effect rather than isentropic cooling.
