The discussion clarifies the differences between three types of enthalpies: residual, excess, and ideal. Residual enthalpy pertains to pure gases or gaseous mixtures, indicating the property relative to an ideal gas at the same conditions. In contrast, excess enthalpy relates to liquid solutions, measuring the property against an ideal liquid solution. Both types of enthalpy deviations from ideality can be estimated using equations of state. For further understanding, references to Chapter 11 of Smith and Van Ness or Perry's Handbook are suggested.

TL;DR
The title.
I am getting confused as these three kinds of 'enthalpies' keep on appearing in the literature I am reading. How are they different? From what I can understand, they are all deviations from ideality, and that they can be 'estimated' using an equation of state. Other than that, how do they differ from each other?

A residual property of a pure gas or gaseous mixture represents the value of the property relative to an ideal gas or ideal gas mixture at the same temperature or pressure. So the word residual applies to gases.

An excess property applies to liquid solutions, and is the value of the property relative to an ideal liquid solution at the same temperature and pressure.

See Chapter 11 of Smith and Van Ness or Perry's Handbook.

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
