Question

In steady adiabatic throttling with no shaft work and negligible kinetic and potential energy changes, which specific thermodynamic property remains constant?

The correct answer is

Enthalpy

For steady adiabatic throttling with zero shaft work and negligible kinetic and potential energy changes, the flow-energy equation reduces to \(h_1=h_2\). Thus specific enthalpy remains constant.
