How to Calculate and Solve for Enthalpy at Constant Pressure Heating or Cooling | Enthalpy
Last Updated on May 24, 2024
The enthalpy at constant pressure heating or cooling is illustrated by the image below. To calculate enthalpy at constant pressure (heating or cooling), two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Enthalpy at Point 1 (h1) and Enthalpy at Point 2 (h2).
The formula for calculating enthalpy at constant pressure:
Q = h2 – h1
Where:
Q = Enthalpy at Constant Pressure
h1 = Enthalpy at Point 1
h2 = Enthalpy at Point 2
Given an example;
Find the enthalpy at constant pressure when the enthalpy at point 1 is 20 and the enthalpy at point 2 is 28.
This implies that;
h1 = Enthalpy at Point 1 = 20
h2 = Enthalpy at Point 2 = 28
Q = h2 – h1
That is, Q = 28 – 20
Q = 8
Therefore, the enthalpy at constant pressure is 8 J/Kg.
Calculating the Enthalpy at Point 1 when the Enthalpy at Constant Pressure and the Enthalpy at Point 2 are Given
h1 = h2 – Q
Where:
h1 = Enthalpy at Point 1
Q = Enthalpy at Constant Pressure
h2 = Enthalpy at Point 2
Let’s solve an example;
Find the enthalpy at point 1 when the enthalpy at constant pressure is 12 and the enthalpy at point 2 is 32.
This implies that;
Q = Enthalpy at Constant Pressure = 12
h2 = Enthalpy at Point 2 = 32
h1 = h2 – Q
Then, h1 = 32 – 12
h1 = 20
Therefore, the enthalpy at point 1 is 20 J/Kg.

Calculatint the Enthalpy at Point 2 when the Enthalpy at Constant Pressure and the Enthalpy at Point 1 are Given
h2 = Q + h1
Where:
h2 = Enthalpy at Point 2
Q = Enthalpy at Constant Pressure
h1 = Enthalpy at Point 1
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the enthalpy at point 1 is 12 and the enthalpy at constant pressure is 10. Find the Enthalpy at point 2?
This implies that;
Q = Enthalpy at Constant Pressure = 10
h1 = Enthalpy at Point 1 = 12
So, h2 = Q + h1
h2 = 10 + 12
h2 = 22
Therefore, the enthalpy at point 2 is 22J/Kg.
