  2. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    Latent heat is energy released or absorbed by a body or a thermodynamic system during a constant-temperature process. Two common forms of latent heat are latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization . These names describe the direction of energy flow when changing from one phase to the next: from solid to liquid, and liquid to gas.

  3. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    At the interface between the phases (in the classical problem) the temperature is set to the phase change temperature. To close the mathematical system a further equation, the Stefan condition, is required. This is an energy balance which defines the position of the moving interface.

  4. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    Regardless of the equation format, the heat of formation of a compound at any temperature is ΔH° form at 298.15 K, plus the sum of the heat content parameters of the products minus the sum of the heat content parameters of the reactants. The C p equation is obtained by taking the derivative of the heat content equation.

  5. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.

  6. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    , is the specific heat at constant pressure of the fuel vapor (J.Kg −1.K −1) Integrating this equation from r {\displaystyle r} to the ambient gas phase conditions ( ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } ) gives the variation of the gas film temperature ( T g {\displaystyle T_{g}} ) as a function of the radial distance:

  7. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    energy/mole of fuel; energy/mass of fuel; energy/volume of the fuel; There are two kinds of enthalpy of combustion, called high(er) and low(er) heat(ing) value, depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H 2 O are allowed to condense. The high heat values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter ...

  8. Enthalpy of vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

    Temperature-dependency of the heats of vaporization for water, methanol, benzene, and acetone. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆H vap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
