In this case an extra step is added to the solution, solve a (generally) nonlinear equation for $T=f(h)$. Quite often this is formulated as a root finding problem stated as $h-\hat{h}(T)=0$, where $h$ represents the integrate enthalpy in a control volume and $\hat{h}$ the provided function relating temperature to enthalpy.

In such formulations, all problem coefficients are required to be assumed temperature-dependent. Although of high practical relevance, most standard engineering textbooks ignore this sort of development. A recent paper by ([[@Hristov2023]]) tries to handle this sort of formalism, but expanded in temperature units.
