Nitrogen Temperature according to pressure release 1

[Nukie]

I would like to know how to calculate the delta T for gaseous nitrogen when I depressurize it thru a regulator, let say the cylinder is at 2500psi and the output of the regulator is 125 psi.

Any formulas and references are welcome

Thanks

This would just be an adiabatic expansion of a gas. Most thermo books have this information or you can check this website out.

From published information the J-T (isoenthalpic throttling) coefficient for nitrogen at 25 ^oC, for 8.5 ata : 0.2155, and assuming a J-T coeff. linear relation with pressure, expressed as 0.2155 - 7.4 x 10^-4 P, we can estimate the cooling effect after expansion by integrating between 8.5 and 170 ata of:
(0.2155 - 7.4 x 10^-4 P) dP =
0.2155 (8.5-170) - 7.4 x 10^-4 (8.5² - 170²)/2 = -34.8 + 10.7 =
-24.1^oC.

I hope this exercise is of value. Good luck!
