Specific enthalpy

Okay kiddo, let me explain what specific enthalpy means.

Have you ever felt how hot or cold something is? When you touch something cold, you usually feel a chill, right? And when you touch something hot, you might even burn yourself if it's too hot!

Now, scientists use a special term to measure just how hot or cold something is. That special term is called "enthalpy".

But just measuring how hot or cold something is not enough, we need to measure how much heat energy is required to keep something hot or cold. This is where the term "specific enthalpy" comes in.

Special enthalpy is a way of measuring how much heat is required to increase the temperature of a specific amount of substance, like water or air. It's like measuring how much energy it takes to boil a certain amount of water.

So when scientists talk about specific enthalpy, they are really measuring how much heat energy is needed to change the temperature of a certain amount of substance, like water or air.

I hope that helps you understand what specific enthalpy is all about!
