lalbatros, thanks for replying. Could you explain more why there is no such thing as kinetic energy from pressure, why I'm coming up with this idea? Without implying that this term of mine makes sense, I'd like to put out this example: A common engineering device is a compressor. Such a...

Zeppos, what you are saying is a revelation to me. If I had paid more attention, I would have seen that this is what Austen G was pointing at. Trying to find more about how enthalpy relates to the distinction between internal and environmental pressure, I came to the wikipedia page about...

Austen_G, thanks for replying to my thread. That is a new way to look at it, and it makes sense to me - tracing where each component of the system's energy (enthalpy) came from. But now that I look at this topic again after a while, I'm realizing that a lot of my original confusion stemmed...

Thank you! The link at the bottom of the older thread gave good insight. I should've searched the forum first though. Sorry about that, newb mistake haha :-D.

Hello! First post here :-) Hope this isn't too simple for this forum...if so, by all means give me a pointer... I'm wondering about some basic thermod. concepts. Could somebody please shed a little light on these? Internal Energy and Enthalpy (both from macroscopic viewpoint) Does...
