thermodynamics - Joule-Kelvin coefficent what does $p$ and $T$ represent?


In the Joule-Kelvin expansion we take a gas at one pressure $p_1$ and throttle it through a valve to another pressure $p_2$ where these two pressures are taken to be constant. The Joule-Kelvin coefficient is given by: $$\mu_{JK} = \left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H$$ So what temperature does $T$ represent and what pressure does $p$ represent?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
