Select the cоrrect stаtements fоr the оperаtion of а throttling valve with negligible heat transfer and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energies. Throttling valves produce a pressure drop without involving any work. For an ideal gas, the temperature decreases during a throttling process. Internal energy values at the inlet and exit of a throttling valve are the same.
