I gotta say, as an HVAC tech working in the field trying to get a better understanding of enthalpy, you saying pressure is generally constant and work doesn't matter made this almost irrelevant to the real world application. This seems like a way to calculate how much an uninsulated window heats a house. Very frustrating.

Ben, congrats, this is the most clear explanation about enthalpy I have even seen. I am a chemical engineer and people in my field just take for granted the word enthalpy but most of them do not understand the real concept (including me until today). thanks for your work doing such educational videos all the best from Germany

[@BensChemVideos]

Thanks for your kind words! Much love from the USA! 😃

[@daphnec4016]

Only video I've come across that makes enthalpy make sense. Other videos just recite the formula! Thank you.

There's thousands of videos that gives an intuition of entropy but this is the only that I found that gives, in the first minute, an idea of why is enthalpy useful. Thanks.

What is the meaning of Change in Enthalpy when the pressure is not constant? In some problems deltaH was given directly by n×cp×deltaT even when the process was adiabatic and pressure varied

[@carultch]

Enthalpy is a state function, that doesn't depend on the path taken. You can heat the gas at constant pressure to give it its full change in enthalpy, and then take an isothermal process to the final condition. Isothermal processes with an ideal gas have no change in enthalpy. This will have exactly the same change in enthalpy, as if you take a process with varying pressure. The heat and work will be different, but the change in enthalpy will not. The change in enthalpy is still useful for such a process. You see this parameter used, in turbines and compressors, where the process ideally is adiabatic. The rate of work done on the gas compressing it (or by the gas expanding it in a turbine) equals the mass flow rate times the change in enthalpy. Since it is an open system process, rather than a closed system process, we need to account for energy through enthalpy, rather than internal energy.

Good explanation! The only thing that bugs me is the capital and lower case letters. I learned that capitals are total values and lower case letters are "per mass". Which means that the q and w should be capital or all the others lower case.

[@earthn1447]

Thank you! Great explanation! Will help with my Climate Reality Presentation!

[@priyanshuostwal5039]

so what does the steam table value gives us mean? Say at 300C and 5bar pressure, the enthalpy value of water/steam is 2534kJ/kg (NOT ACTUAL VALUE). So what is this value? Does it say if we raise the temperature of 1kg liquid at a constant pressure of 5 bar from 0C to 300C, we will need 2534kJ ??

[@BensChemVideos]

I don't understand the question. Could you rephrase it?

[@carultch]

The datum at which enthalpy is defined as zero, is arbitrary. You need to use steam tables with the same reference point. It's common to define it at zero at a point such as 0C and saturated liquid. Refrigeration tables define it at zero at -40C and saturated liquid. It is only difference between enthalpy values in steam tables that means anything. And an application of this, is finding the power produced expanding the steam in a turbine.

Mr Ben I thought the symbol for Internal Energy was H. I see you are using E. Are we allowed to use E?

[@BensChemVideos]

I've seen both "E" and "U" for internal energy. I've never seen "H" used to represent internal energy. It doesn't matter too much what symbol you use, as long as you and those with whom you communicate all agree on terms.

[@mysticjaarse]

@@BensChemVideos thank you, I think I was confusing it with enthalpy sorry : )

Wait so enthrall is basically heat released or absorbed under constant pressure???

Why is change in enthalpy equal to q+w-w when w = -p delta V? Wouldn't it just be change in enthalpy is equal to q+w(-p delta V)?

[@BensChemVideos]

@@daphnec4016 I think the video explains it better than I could in a comment, but I'll give it a shot. DeltaH is equal to deltaE + P * deltaV If deltaE is equal to q + w (first law), then delta H is equal to q + w + P*deltaV. If w = -P*deltaV, then POSITIVE P*DeltaV is equal to -w Substituting -w in place of the P*deltaV term in the enthalpy equation gives... DeltaH = q + w - w The w's cancel, and we're left with q.

Is work always negative even when the surrounding is the one that does work on the system??...

[@BensChemVideos]

If the system is doing work on the surroundings, then work is negative. If the surroundings are doing work on the system, then work is positive.

[@carultch]

The sign convention is arbitrary, and depends on what standards you are using. I'm accustomed to the heat engine standard, where heat added to the system is positive, and work done by the system is positive.

To sum it up Enthalpy is the way to say it is the change in heat. Not exactly but yeah.

[@carultch]

Enthalpy is the energy needed to create a substance (internal energy U), plus the energy needed to make space for the substance (P*V).

[@slttttt]

If enthalpy is only defined for constant pressure then why do they talk about enthalpy in other processes and what does enthalpy mean in other processes
