Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Here if we see the situation with respect to a throttling process where reversible adiabatic expansion takes place there the heating or cooling takes place depending upon the initial conditions because there we have two contravening effects.
I. Increase in temperature due to viscous dissipation.
II. Decrease in temperature as the pressure energy of the gas is decreased.
But in case of reversible adiabatic compression we have same effect that means both the effects leads to increase in temperature only. Hence there will be heating.
