WHAT DOES ENTHALPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Enthalpy

Enthalpy is a defined thermodynamic potential, designated by the letter "H", that consists of the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume of the system: Since enthalpy, H, consists of internal energy, U, plus the product of pressure and the volume of the system, which are all functions of the state of the thermodynamic system, enthalpy is a state function. The unit of measurement for enthalpy in the International System of Units is the joule, but other historical, conventional units are still in use, such as the British thermal unit and the calorie. The enthalpy is the preferred expression of system energy changes in many chemical, biological, and physical measurements, because it simplifies certain descriptions of energy transfer. Enthalpy change accounts for energy transferred to the environment at constant pressure through expansion or heating. The total enthalpy, H, of a system cannot be measured directly. The same situation exists in classical mechanics: only a change or difference in energy carries physical meaning.

Definition of enthalpy in the English dictionary

The definition of enthalpy in the dictionary is a thermodynamic property of a system equal to the sum of its internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume H Also called: heat content, total heat.
