Inversion curve

Expansion from high to low pressures at room temperature cools most gases. Hydrogen is an exception in that it heats upon expansion at room temperature. Only below the inversion temperature, which is a function of pressure, does hydrogen cool upon expansion. Values of the Joule-Thorns on expansion coefficients for hydrogen have been tabulated up to 253 MPa (36,700 psi) (48), and the Joule-Thorns on inversion curve for i7n -hydrogen has been determined (49,50).

Figure 3.7 (a) Joule-Thomson inversion curve (/o.t. = 0) for nitrogen, (b) The Joule -Thomson coefficient of nitrogen gas. At the lowest temperature, 123.15 K. nitrogen liquifies hence the curve for the gas terminates at the vapor pressure. 

Figure 3.7(a) compares the experimental inversion curve for nitrogen gas with the van der Waals prediction. Considering the approximations involved, it is not surprising that the quantitative prediction of the van der Waals equation is not very good. Equation (3.91) is quadratic in T and hence, predicts two values for the inversion temperature, which is in qualitative agreement with the experimental observation.1...

Comparing formula (15.74) for the predicted anomalous square slowness As (2) with the expression (15.66) for the original As (2), we find that the inverse result has the step at the right depth, but the magnitude of the step is not exact and the entire curve As (2) is shifted with respect of the true curve As (2) by a constant (2A/cq). The shift of the inversion curve actually depends on the value of the observed scattered field at zero frequency, which can never be practically determined in a real-world experiment (see Bleistein et al., 2001, for more details). The discrepancy in the step sizes can be easily resolved if we evaluate the reflection coefficient value for a small step b, taking into account formula (15.68)... 

An example of a typical direct relationship is the increase in volume of a gas with increasing temperature. When the gases inside a hot air balloon are heated, the halloon gets larger. As the balloon cools, its size decreases. However, a plot of the decrease in pressure as the volume of a gas increases yields a typical inverse curve. 

Basis for the kinetic model is a standard batch hydrolysis experiment ( ). Fig. lA shows the standard hydrolysis curve for soy protein isolate - Alcalase. The reaction constant (pseudo first order rate constant) is calculated from the standard curve by fitting the inverse curve in a small DH-range 1 3 ) to a se-... 

The experimental determination of a fluid s T t and its inversion curve is difficult since very precise measurements of volumetric or caloric properties at conditions up to 5 times its critical temperature and 12 times its critical pressure. Experimental inversion curve data are therefore scarce, often unreliable [65], and mostly available only for pure fluids. 

For a relatively small number of pure fluids, Wagner and Pm(3 have developed reference equations of state based on thousands of experimental data points on different thermodynamic properties [66]. These reference equations yield precise results in the fluid region over a large temperature and pressure range including the JT inversion curve.
