Ok, I must admit that I am becoming a bit confused about these concepts. I understand that enthalpy is u + Pv, and entropy has something to do with molecular randomness. I was fine until we started to solve for heat transfer when dealing with entropy and now I am confused, sometimes we use:
Q=m(u2-u1) to describe heat transfer
and other times we use:
Q=m(h2-h1)
Can anyone please explain to me how to tell which should be used where? I know that its a very important concept that i must have missed.
Thanks
