Differentiating this equation with respect to T (keeping P constant)
(G) |
or
From Eqn. C
Plugging this value of P into Eqn. G, we get
or

Now, according to the J-T effect, the change in temperature is
Therefore,
Since dP is always negative due to the J-T expansion, three cases arise:
Case 1: cooling effect (i.e., dT is negative) will be observed if
is positive, i.e., if
Case 2: heating effect (i.e., dT is positive) will be observed if
is negative, i.e., if
Case 3: there will be neither a heating effect nor a cooling effect (i.e., dT = 0) if
is zero
The temperature at which the J-T effect is zero is called the temperature of inversion (Ti), so
