Enthalpy is expressed in ____________
Direct Answer
Option B: k joules per 1 kg
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property representing the total heat content of a system. In maritime engineering and fuel thermodynamics, it is expressed as specific enthalpy, measured in kilojoules per kilogram (kJ/kg). This unit is essential for calculating energy balances during bunkering, fuel heating, and vaporization processes within the ship's fuel supply system.
