Background from Wikipedia

In thermodynamics, the quantity enthalpy, symbolized by H, also called heat content, is the sum of the internal energy of a thermodynamic system plus the energy associated with work done by the system on the atmosphere, which is the product of the pressure times the volume. The term enthalpy is composed of the prefix en-, meaning to "put into", plus the Greek suffix -thalpein, meaning "to heat".
