Abstract :
To verify the Joule Thomson effect by liquefaction of the atmospheric gases. Joule-Thomson effect states
that “heat change in temperature of a gas on expansion through a porous plug from a high pressure to a lower one
under adiabatic conditionsâ€. The atmospheric air is compressed to increase the pressure using a compressor .This
compressed air is sent through a heat exchanger which facilitates the lowering of temperature of the system by the
temperature difference created between the inlet and the outlet fluid. Again the fluid is sent through a throttling valve
which is capable of suddenly expanding the air resulting in further cooling and leads to the formation of liquid
droplets.
