Abstract

Electrons in graphene exhibit hydrodynamic behavior in a certain range of temperatures. We indicate that in this regime electric current can result in cooling of electron fluid due to the Joule—Thomson effect. Cooling occurs in the Fermi-liquid regime, while for the Dirac fluid the effect results in heating.
