enthalpy has definitions from the field of physics
1
[ noun ] (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity equal to the internal energy of a system plus the product of its volume and pressure

Examples

"enthalpy is the amount of energy in a system capable of doing mechanical work"

(Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)

Assuming thermal equilibrium between the anode surface and the transpiring argon , the gas enthalpy rise through the anode was calculated according_to the relation **f whereby the specific_heat of argon was taken as **f .

This calculation results in an enthalpy rise which is somewhat high because it assumes a mass flow equally distributed over the plug cross_section whereas in_reality the mass velocity is expected to be smaller in the regions of higher temperatures .
