enthalpy
Main Entry: en·thal·py
Pronunciation: \ˈen-ˌthal-pē, en-ˈ\
Function: noun
Etymology: en- + Greek thalpein to heat
Date: circa 1924
: the sum of the internal energy of a body or system and the product of its volume multiplied by the pressure
This has to do with chemistry. It's the measurement of heat.
Enthalpy you mean?? (A chemistry stuff...)
In thermodynamics and molecular chemistry, the enthalpy or heat content (denoted as H or ΔH, or rarely as χ) is a quotient or description of thermodynamic potential of a system, which can be used to calculate the "useful" work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system under constant pressure.
The term enthalpy is composed of the prefix en-, meaning to "put into", plus the Greek word -thalpein, meaning "to heat", although the original definition is thought to have stemmed from the word, "enthalpos" (ἐνθάλπος).[1] It is often calculated as a differential sum, describing the changes within exo- and endothermic reactions, which minimize at equilibrium.
Enthalpy is heat content. it has no absolute value. you can only calculate the changes in enthalpy. it is measured in KJ.
