Default SCFM vs. CFM, also air flow/pressure across a regulator

There's a law of thermodynamics that says otherwise.


Compressed air exiting an orifice gets colder (temperature decreases) from
expansion, while gaining some new heat from the friction and turbulence of
passing through the orifice. Which law of thermodynamics "says otherwise"?
