The enthalpy change can be calculated for constant volume, isothermal, and adiabatic processes, and these calculations hold significant relevance in various applications. For instance, heating a solid can be treated as a constant volume process, while chemical reactions at constant temperature yield the heat of reaction. Additionally, the throttling process is an adiabatic process that has numerous practical applications. Understanding these concepts enhances the analysis of thermodynamic systems beyond just constant pressure scenarios. Overall, exploring enthalpy changes in different processes is crucial for comprehensive thermodynamic studies.

We know that the enthalpy change for a constant pressure process dh=cpdt.

Can we calculate the enthalpy change for a constant volume process, an isothermal process and an adiabatic process. If so how relevant are these calculations?

Ive been trying to work this out all week and I've never seen any examples asking for the enthalpy change for any other processes other than a constant pressure process

Your help will be greatly appreciated

These are 3 valid (good) questions, and the calculations are (very) relevant:
1. a solid that is heated can be considered to be a constant volume process.
2. a chemical reaction proceeding "at constant T" gives the heat of reaction.
3. the throttling process is an adiabatic process with many applications.

Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves.
