... the mere throttling of dry saturated steam when flowing through a permeable or porous resistance to flow must also cause superheating; for throttling is an isenthalpic process which-as can be seen from a Mollier chart-both superheats and(paradoxically) cools it slightly owing to the Joule-Thomson effect. 1, record 1, English, - isenthalpic%20process
