The gases expand into the chamber through this hole and during this expansion all the random kinetic energy (translational, rotational and vibrational) gets converted Cite? What about the actual straight line movement of the molecules after exiting the pressurized state, would this not be considered a translational movement? Would it be more proper to state that the random translational movement is converted to a uniform one? Otherwise we might be left questioning that since it is converted what does it get converted to? Could the above principles be applied to refrigeration since it seems obvious that a temperature loss should take place. Does the conventional equation PV=nRT apply here? HDN
