In thermodynamics and molecular chemistry, enthalpy (denoted as H, or specific enthalpy denoted as h) is a thermodynamic property of a thermodynamic system. It can be used to calculate the heat transfer during a quasistatic process taking place in a closed thermodynamic system under constant pressure (isobaric process). Change in enthalpy ΔH is frequently a more useful value than H itself. For quasistatic processes under constant pressure, ΔH is equal to the change in the internal ener… (More on Enthalpy) |
