  1. What does Enthalpy mean? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Sep 10, 2017 · Standard definition: Enthalpy is a measurement of energy in a thermodynamic system. It is the thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the internal energy of the system plus the product of …

  2. What exactly is enthalpy? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 5, 2016 · What does the term enthalpy really mean and what is its physical interpretation? What does the wikipedia definition of enthalpy mean, which says that $pV$ work in the ...

  3. Arriving at the definition and purpose of enthalpy

    Oct 1, 2019 · Enthalpy is the sum of the internal and the flow energy, so enthalpy accounts for all the energy associated with mass flow. The above viewpoint is for a system defined as a region where …

  4. Explain internal energy and enthalpy - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jan 7, 2014 · 1 Internal energy and enthalpy. I am finding it hard to distinguish between the two. Confused. Can someone explain me the two terms and difference between them? I tried learning …

  5. thermodynamics - What is enthalpy? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Aug 18, 2016 · Enthalpy is the amount of heat energy contained within an arbitrarily defined system. So for example, you define the coffee in the cup to be your system, enthalpy is the state variable that …

  6. Help me to understand why we have $pV$ in the enthalpy equation

    Sep 21, 2024 · But since enthalpy is a state variable, shouldn't different paths give the same enthalpy? Please help me to understand where my understanding of enthalpy is flawed in various ways.

  7. thermodynamics - Is enthalpy only defined for systems which exchange ...

    Apr 16, 2021 · Clearly, in the derivation of enthalpy we have assumed that constant pressure is acting on the system. So, doesn't this mean that enthalpy is only defined for systems which are at isobaric …

  8. Derivation regarding Gibbs free energy - Physics Stack Exchange

    Apr 23, 2025 · To give some background context and motivation, I will show why the enthalpy and Gibbs free energy are defined the way they are via some differential forms. The Gibbs free energy is …

  9. Delta H = C_p \\Delta T $ - Physics Stack Exchange

    Sep 1, 2015 · The definition of enthalpy as a function of heat capacity and temperature change. $ \Delta H = C_p \Delta T $. Does it only apply at constant pressure? In my discussions on this board and …

  10. What is the enthalpy in thermodynamics? [duplicate]

    Sep 5, 2016 · What does enthalpy tell us about? According to definition; it is the total heat content of a system, if it is the total heat content of a system then what is Internal Energy? Since we know, ...
