Gesamtenthalpie
Gesamtenthalpie, also known as total enthalpy, is a thermodynamic property that combines internal energy and the product of pressure and volume in a system. It is a key concept in the study of thermodynamics, particularly in the analysis of open systems where mass can flow across the system boundaries. The term originates from the German language, where *Gesamt* means "total" and *Enthalpie* refers to enthalpy, a measure of the total heat content of a system.
Enthalpy itself is defined as the sum of a system's internal energy and the product of its
In engineering and physics, Gesamtenthalpie is often used in the context of the first law of thermodynamics
The concept is particularly relevant in aerodynamics and gas dynamics, where changes in enthalpy are closely
