9. The role of solar energy in rural Guyana.
This work was jointly managed and sponsored by UNDP and Guyana Energy Agency.
The United Nations
Development Programme
has initiated a project on
delivering energy services
to hinterland areas.
However, this project also
targets other energy needs
besides electricity, like
cooking and transportation
and it focuses specifically
on community needs. It
builds on the experiences
of 2006 project and will be
carried out in two phases
during 2011-2012 and
2013-2015.

12. Joule–
Thomson effect
the Joule–Thomson effect describes the temperature change
of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when
it is forced through a valve or porous plug while kept insulated
so that no heat is exchanged with the environment. This
procedure is called a throttling process or Joule–Thomson
process.
At room temperature, all gases
except hydrogen, helium and neon cool upon expansion by the
Joule–Thomson process; these three gases experience the
same effect but only at lower temperatures.
The throttling process is commonly exploited in thermal
machines such as refrigerators, air conditioners, heat pumps,
and liquefiers.
