enthalpy H i the sum of the internal energy U and the 'pV-energy'= p*V.

The pV term is also called flow-energy, pressure-energy or energy of displacement. The p is the external pressure, but for systems at constant pressure it is also equal to the internal pressure. Hence: H=U+pV.

It follows that H is a composite form of energy, a statement not commonly found in the literature.
