Internal Energy, U

Postby smurphy1D » Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:29 am

Is Delta U always equal to Delta H?

it's equal if you are at constant pressure and volume.

delta u is only equal to delta h when pressure is constant and volume doesn't change

A counter example would be in an isolated system, where neither heat nor matter can be exchanged, dU = q + w.

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

ΔU is only equal to ΔH when the pressure is constant and the change in volume ΔV = 0.

Only at constant pressure and volume! :)

Only when change in pressure and change in volume are zero.
