Enthalpy ( $H$ ) ^[1]^[2] is defined as:

H : = U + p V

where $U$ is the internal energy, $p$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume. $p V$ is a conjugate pair. The differential of this function is

d H = d U + p d V + V d p

d H = T d S - p d V + p d V + V d p

thus we arrive at

d H = T d S + V d p

For $H (S, p)$ we have the following total differential

d H = {(\frac{\partial H}{\partial S})}_{p} d S + {(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p})}_{S} d p
