Graduate Why does Joule expansion cool real gases if kinetic energy decreases?
I read on 27 chapter from Blundell's Thermal Physics 2nd edition. For ideal gases, Joule expansion doesn't cool gases. But for real gases, Joule expansion makes cooling effects. And this book(page 314) says that when gases expand, their potential energy of molecular interactions...- Donkeyking
