In the words of James Burke's, "Connections".
 
The Inversion Temperature:
" the 'normal' effect of cooling when a gas expands takes place below that temperature,
above that temperature it heats under expansion."
 
Gas                 Inversion Temp Deg K
Space                     0-3
Helium                    51
Hydrogen              205   -90.67 F
Neon                      242
Nitrogen                621     658.13 F
Argon                     723     841.73 F
Krypton                  727
Oxygen                  893     1147.73
Xenon                  1427
 
Zero Deg C  =     273 Deg K
Zero Deg F  =     255 Deg K
