11.2 ENERGY OF FORMATION
It will be considered in this section that the processes take place at constant pressure and the property
enthalpy ( h or H) will be used; if the processes were constant volume ones then internal energies (u or
U) would be the appropriate properties.
A hydrocarbon fuel consists of carbon and hydrogen (and possibly another element) atoms that are
held together by chemical bonds. These atoms can be considered to have been brought together by
heating carbon and hydrogen (in molecular form) under conditions that encourage the resulting atoms
to bond. There are two processes involved in this: first, the carbon has to be changed
