joigus Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Do you want to re-activate the thread? Are you still having problems with the concept of enthalpy? The question is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you understand what energy is ? Also do you understand what is internal energy and external energy? I note you have asked this before so the Moderators will probably combine the threads as you are only allowed one thread per topic In your previous thread you gave the formula H = U + PV Does this mean you know the First law of Thermodynamics? : Please write your First law equation down so that I can follow the symbols and sign convention you are used to. I assume you already know what heat and work are but there are different forms of heat (and work). We will cover these. Enthalpy was originally called Heat Content or Total Heat, but that was changed to enthalpy when this became confusing. It is very important to understand that enthalpy is not directly related to the heat transferred in the First Law in most cases.
