Summary: | The reviewer’s comments are focused on sections two and three of the paper and are primarily concerned with the originality of the results and the relationship with previous and other current work. 1. On the question of previous work we strongly agree that when it comes to enthalpy ’many people have written papers on the subject’. In fact as enthalpy is a measure of the amount of energy available from a steam boiler we suspect that its use dates well before the time of Maxwell’s relations (1871) and may have been fundamental in the development of thermodynamics In the oceanographic literature, our impression is that, enthalpy tends to be treated as |
