How This Is Calculated


$$ H = E + PV $$ where:

H   =   Enthalpy   (J)

E   =   Internal energy   (J)

P   =   Pressure   (Pa)

V   =   Volume   (m³)


Assumptions


  • The process occurs at constant pressure.
  • The system is in thermodynamic equalibrium.
  • Kinetic and potential energy chages are ignored..
  • The fluid behaves as an ideal gas.
