Calculate enthalpy for the isobaric, adiabatic system left to its own to prove that enthalpy reaches a minimum value in equilibrium. In other words, H = Hmin dH = 0.
Added by Darryl C.
Step 1
We know that for an isobaric process, the pressure remains constant. So, we can write the first law of thermodynamics as: $$dU = dQ - dW = dQ - PdV$$ Show more…

Show that the enthalpy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only and that for an incompressible substance it also depends on pressure.
Please provide exact steps and an exact solution Calculate a fundamental thermodynamic equation for enthalpy. Start with dH = d(E + pV) to derive your answer. Use this to give expressions for the temperature and volume of a system at constant entropy and pressure.
