In thermodynamics and molecular chemistry, the enthalpy or heat content (denoted as H, h, or rarely as χ) is a quotient or description of thermodynamic potential of a system, which can be used to calculate the "useful" work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system under constant pressure and entropy. Statistical mechanics is the application of Probability theory, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations to the field of Mechanics In Thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics is the study of the microscopic behaviors of Thermodynamic systems using Probability theory. Kinetic theory (or kinetic theory of gases) attempts to explain Macroscopic properties of Gases such as pressure temperature or volume by considering A thermodynamic potential is a Scalar potential function used to represent the Thermodynamic state of a system. In Thermodynamics, the internal energy of a Thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by  U, or sometimes  In Thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy is a Thermodynamic potential which measures the “useful” work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic In Thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy ( IUPAC recommended name Gibbs energy or Gibbs function) is a Thermodynamic potential which In Physics, thermodynamics (from the Greek θερμη therme meaning " Heat " and δυναμις dynamis meaning " Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties A thermodynamic potential is a Scalar potential function used to represent the Thermodynamic state of a system.

The term enthalpy was composed of the prefix en-, meaning to "put into" and the Greek word -thalpein, meaning "to heat", although the original definition is thought to have stemmed from the word "enthalpos" (ἐνθάλπος).

Over the history of thermodynamics, several terms have been used to denote what is now known as the enthalpy of a system. The history of thermodynamics is a fundamental strand in the History of physics, the History of chemistry, and the History of science in general Originally, it was thought that the word "enthalpy" was created by Benoit Paul Émile Clapeyron and Rudolf Clausius through the publishing of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation in "The Mollier Steam Tables and Diagrams" in 1827, but it was later published that the earliest recording of the word was in 1875, by Josiah Willard Gibbs in the publication "Physical Chemistry: an Advanced Treatise"[2], although it is not referenced in Gibbs' works directly[3]. Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron (26 February 1799 - 28 January 1864 was a French Engineer and Physicist, one of the founders of Thermodynamics Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius (Born Rudolf Gottlieb, January 2, 1822 &ndash August 24, 1888) was a German Physicist The Clausius-Clapeyron relation, named after Rudolf Clausius and Émile Clapeyron, is a way of characterizing the Phase transition between two phases of Year 1827 ( MDCCCXXVII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common Year 1875 ( MDCCCLXXV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Josiah Willard Gibbs ( February 11, 1839 &ndash April 28, 1903) was an American theoretical Physicist, Chemist In 1909, Keith Landler discussed Gibbs' work on the 'heat function for constant pressure' and noted that Heike Kamerlingh Onnes had coined its modern name from the Greek word "enthalpos" (ενθαλπος) meaning "to put heat into.

This is the heat change which occurs when 1 mol of a substance reacts completely with oxygen to form products at 298 K and 1 atm. The function H was introduced by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in early 20th century in the following form:

where E represents the energy of the system. Heike Kamerlingh Onnes ( September 21, 1853 &ndash February 21, 1926) was a Dutch Physicist. In the absence of an external field, the enthalpy may be defined, as it is generally known, by:

where (all units given in SI)
In terms of thermodynamics, enthalpy can be calculated by determining the requirements for creating a system from "nothingness"; the mechanical work required, pV differs, based upon the constancy of conditions present at the creation of the thermodynamic system. The joule (written in lower case ˈdʒuːl or /ˈdʒaʊl/ (symbol J) is the SI unit of Energy measuring heat, Electricity In Thermodynamics, the internal energy of a Thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by  U, or sometimes  Pressure (symbol 'p' is the force per unit Area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface The volume of any solid plasma vacuum or theoretical object is how much three- Dimensional space it occupies often quantified numerically CM3 redirects here If you were looking for the 3rd game in the Cooking Mama series abbreviated as CM3 see here. In Thermodynamics, a thermodynamic system, originally called a working substance, is defined as that part of the universe that is under consideration
Internal energy, U, must be supplied to remove particles from a surrounding in order to allow space for the creation of a system, providing that environmental variables, such as pressure (p) remain constant. In Thermodynamics, the internal energy of a Thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by  U, or sometimes  This internal energy also includes the energy required for activation and the breaking of bonded compounds into gaseous species. In Chemistry, activation energy, also called midnight energy, is a term introduced in 1889 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that is defined
This process is calculated within enthalpy calculations as U + pV, to label the amount of energy or work required to "set aside space for" and "create" the system; describing the work done by both the reaction or formation of systems, and the surroundings. For systems at constant pressure, the change in enthalpy is the heat received by the system plus the non-mechanical work that has been done.
Therefore, the change in enthalpy can be devised or represented without the need for compressive or expansive mechanics; for a simple system, with a constant number of particles, the difference in enthalpy is the maximum amount of thermal energy derivable from a thermodynamic process in which the pressure is held constant.
The term pV is the work required to displace the surrounding atmosphere in order to vacate the space to be occupied by the system.
As an expansion of the first law of thermodynamics, enthalpy can be related to several other thermodynamic formulae. In Thermodynamics, the first law of thermodynamics is an expression of the more universal physical law of the Conservation of energy. As with the original definition of the first law;

As a differentiating expression, the value of H can be defined as

For a process that is not reversible, the above equation expressing dH in terms of dS and dP still holds because H is a thermodynamic state variable that can be uniquely specified by S and P. In Thermodynamics (a branch of Physics) entropy, symbolized by S, is a measure of the unavailability of a system ’s Energy Infinitesimals (from a 17th century Modern Latin coinage infinitesimus, originally referring to the " Infinite[[ th]]" member of a series have We thus have in general:

It is seen that, if a thermodynamic process is isobaric (i. e. , occurs at constant pressure), then dp is zero and thus

The difference in enthalpy is the maximum thermal energy attainable from the system in an isobaric process. An isobaric process is a Thermodynamic process in which the pressure stays constant \Delta p = 0 The term derives from the Greek isos "equal" This explains why it is sometimes called the heat content. That is, the integral of dH over any isobar in state space is the maximum thermal energy attainable from the system.
In a more general form, the first law describes the internal energy with additional terms involving the chemical potential and the number of particles of various types. In Thermodynamics and Chemistry, chemical potential, symbolized by μ, is a term introduced by the American engineer chemist and mathematical The differential statement for dH is then:

where μi is the chemical potential for an i-type particle, and Ni is the number of such particles. It is seen that, not only must the Vdp term be set to zero by requiring the pressures of the initial and final states to be the same, but the μidNi terms must be zero as well, by requiring that the particle numbers remain unchanged. Any further generalization will add even more terms whose extensive differential term must be set to zero in order for the interpretation of the enthalpy to hold.
The total enthalpy of a system cannot be measured directly; the enthalpy change of a system is measured instead. In Thermodynamics, a thermodynamic system, originally called a working substance, is defined as that part of the universe that is under consideration Enthalpy change is defined by the following equation:

where
For an exothermic reaction at constant pressure, the system's change in enthalpy is equal to the energy released in the reaction, including the energy retained in the system and lost through expansion against its surroundings. An exothermic reaction is a Chemical reaction that releases Heat. A chemical reaction is a process that always results in the interconversion of Chemical substances The substance or substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called Pressure (symbol 'p' is the force per unit Area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface In a similar manner, for an endothermic reaction, the system's change in enthalpy is equal to the energy absorbed in the reaction, including the energy lost by the system and gained from compression from its surroundings. In Thermodynamics, the word endothermic "within-heating" describes a process or reaction that absorbs Energy in the form of Heat. A relatively easy way to determine whether or not a reaction is exothermic or endothermic is to determine the sign of ΔH. If ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic, that is heat is absorbed by the system due to the products of the reaction having a greater enthalpy than the reactants. On the other hand if ΔH is negative, the reaction is exothermic, that is the overall decrease in enthalpy is achieved by the generation of heat.
Although enthalpy is commonly used in engineering and science, it is impossible to measure directly, as enthalpy has no datum (reference point). Therefore enthalpy can only accurately be used in a closed system. A Closed system is a System in the state of being isolated from the environment However, few real world applications exist in closed isolation, and it is for this reason that two or more closed systems cannot be compared using enthalpy as a basis, although sometimes this is done erroneously.
In thermodynamic open systems, matter may flow in and out of the system boundaries. In Physics, thermodynamics (from the Greek θερμη therme meaning " Heat " and δυναμις dynamis meaning " An open system is a state of a System, in which a system continuously interacts with its environment The first law of thermodynamics for open systems states: the increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added to the system by matter flowing in and by heating, minus the amount lost by matter flowing out and in the form of work done by the system. The first law for open systems is given by:

where Uin is the average internal energy entering the system and Uout is the average internal energy leaving the system
The region of space enclosed by open system boundaries is usually called a control volume, and it may or may not correspond to physical walls. In Fluid mechanics and Thermodynamics, a control volume is a mathematical abstraction employed in the process of creating Mathematical models If we choose the shape of the control volume such that all flow in or out occurs perpendicular to its surface, then the flow of matter into the system performs work as if it were a piston of fluid pushing mass into the system, and the system performs work on the flow of matter out as if it were driving a piston of fluid. There are then two types of work performed: flow work described above which is performed on the fluid (this is also often called pV work) and shaft work which may be performed on some mechanical device.
These two types of work are expressed in the equation:

Substitution into the equation above for the control volume cv yields:

The definition of enthalpy, H, permits us to use this thermodynamic potential to account for both internal energy and pV work in fluids for open systems:

During steady-state operation of a device (see turbine, pump, and engine), the expression above may be set equal to zero. A thermodynamic potential is a Scalar potential function used to represent the Thermodynamic state of a system. A Unit operation is considered to be at a steady state with respect to an operation variable if that variable does not change with time A turbine is a rotary Engine that extracts Energy from a Fluid flow For information on Wikipedia project-related discussions see WikipediaVillage pump. An engine is a mechanical device that produces some form of output from a given input This yields a useful expression for the power generation or requirement for these devices in the absence of chemical reactions:

This expression is described by the diagram above. In Physics, power (symbol P) is the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted or the amount of energy required or expended for
Standard enthalpy changes describe the change in enthalpy observed in the constituents of a thermodynamic system when going between different states under standard conditions. The standard enthalpy change of vaporization, for example gives the enthalpy change when going from liquid to gas. These enthalpies are reversible; the enthalpy change of going from gas to liquid is the negative of the enthalpy change of vaporization.
