Enthalpy

Thermodynamic quantity equal to the sum of the internal energy of a system plus the product of the pressure-volume work done on the system; enthalpy cannot be directly measured; however, enthalpy differences between the initial and the final staetpoints of a process can be measured. (From Gatley, "Understanding Psychrometrics")
