  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 …

  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 p V 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 …

  4. Explain internal energy and enthalpy - Physics Stack Exchange

    The internal energy and the enthalpy are thermodynamic potentials. I will explain them as in the book A Modern Course in Statistical Mechanics by L. Reichl, which, I think, is a very intuitive …

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

    Sep 21, 2024 · The definition of an enthalpy value itself, U + PV U + P V, doesn't have much meaning. The reason it is useful is when discussing a change in enthalpy:

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. thermodynamics - Is enthalpy only defined for systems which …

    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 …

  9. 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 …

  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 …
