Throttling Ideal Gas


A quick question about throttling:

I've read that for an ideal gas, if you force it through a capillary into a vacuum and allow it to equilibrate, it will experience no temperature change. I was wondering if this is correct, and if anything changes when you're forcing it through with a piston for example.
