dear Inna,

  in the output file energies and enthalpies are written in Ry, volumes in A^3 and pressures in GPa

  in order to apply directly the enthalpy formula everything should be given with consistent units.

  if you check the ev.f90 code (in PW/tools) there are unit conversion factors when using the pressure


line 304:         epv(i) = etot(i) + p(i)*v0(i) / ry_kbar


   and when printing the volume


lines 350-352:

          WRITE(iun,'(f8.2,2x,f12.5, 2x,f12.5, f12.5, 3x, f8.2, 3x,f12.5)') &
              ( v0(i)*bohr_radius_angs**3, etot(i), efit(i), &
               etot(i)-efit(i), p(i)/gpa_kbar, epv(i), i=1,npt )


   best

Hi,
I can't figure out how ev.x calculate enthalpy. I checked the ev.f90 and found out that
Enth(i)=Efit(i)+Pfit(i)*V0(i) is the enthalpy (Ry)
But when I try to calculate by hand I don't reach the same value as reported in ev.x
output file (see below) . For example, for V = 120.51
Enth(i)=Efit(i)+Pfit(i)*V0(i)
Enth(i)= -181.23265 + 2.93*120.51 = 171.86161

What am I doing wrong?

# equation of state: murnaghan.        chisq =   0.4329D-07
# V0 =  996.51 a.u.^3,  k0 =   92 kbar,  dk0 =  4.10  d2k0 = 0.000  emin = -181.24780
# V0 =  147.67  Ang^3,  k0 =   9.2 GPa
