    Enthalpy(H) formula: what is the pressure volume product

    Above is the formula for enthalpy- or, the sum of the internal energy and pressure volume product.

    is work done by or on the system. But , yet very similar to work, I think, calculates the whole"cylinder". Instead of just calculatingthe height difference of the cylinder before and after the air is condensed, it calculate the height of whole cylinder.

    The U term can be interpreted as the energy required to create the system, and the pV term as theenergy that would be required to "make room" for the system if the pressure of the environmentremained constant. When a system, for example, n moles of a gas of volume V at pressure p andtemperature T, is created or brought to its present state from absolute zero, energy must besupplied equal to its internal energy U plus pV, where pV is the work done in pushing against theambient (atmospheric) pressure.
