.
When a solid is allowed to melt, it changes into liquid state with the absorption of heat (increase in enthalpy) and when a liquid is allowed to freeze, it changes into solid with the evolution of heat (decrease in enthalpy). The change in enthalpy of such type of transformations is called enthalpy of fusion.

For example:
