The Joule-Thomson effect is also known as the Joule-Kelvin effect.
Joule-Thomson coefficient
The Joule-Thomson coefficient is given by
where T is the temperature, p is the pressure and H is the enthalpy.
In terms of heat capacities one has
and
In terms of the second virial coefficient at zero pressure one has
