E Correct answer
Explanation

An isenthalpic process is a process that proceeds without any change in enthalpy, H. In a steady-state, steady-flow process, significant changes in pressure and temperature can occur to the fluid and yet the process will be isenthalpic if there is no transfer of heat to or from the surroundings, no work done on or by the surroundings, and no change in the kinetic energy of the fluid.
