← ScienceWhich thermodynamic outcome accelerates during isenthalpic expansion across a throttling valve?
A)Increased fluid kinetic energy
B)Decreased fluid gravitational potentia
C)Increased bulk fluid temperature
D)Increased entropy by phase change✓
💡 Explanation
Increased entropy is achieved because isenthalpic expansion reduces pressure, potentially causing liquids turning into gasses via the Joule-Thomson effect. This drives phase change which inherently increases entropy, rather than kinetic energy changes associated with simple expansion.
