en·thal·py

(ĕn′thăl′pē, ĕn-thăl′-)

n. pl. en·thal·pies

Symbol H A thermodynamic function of a system, equivalent to the sum of the internal energy of the system plus the product of its volume multiplied by the pressure exerted on it by its surroundings.

[Greek enthalpein, to heat in (en-, in; see en-² + thalpein, to heat) + -y.]
