    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect (also known as the Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect) describes the temperature change of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is expanding; typically caused by the pressure loss from flow through a valve or porous plug while keeping it insulated so that no heat is exchanged with the environment.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    A throttle is a mechanism by which fluid flow is managed by construction or obstruction.. An engine's power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (by the use of a throttle), but usually decreased.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_A–L

    The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. The term engineering is derived from the Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise". [196]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_M–Z

    A precise physical definition of a "failed" state is not easily quantified and several working definitions are in use in the engineering community. Quite often, phenomenological failure criteria of the same form are used to predict brittle failure and ductile yields. Material properties
