  2. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    The terms sensible heat and latent heat refer to energy transferred between a body and its surroundings, defined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of temperature change; they depend on the properties of the body. Sensible heat is sensed or felt in a process as a change in the body's temperature.

  3. Bowen ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowen_ratio

    Heat transfer can either occur as sensible heat (differences in temperature without evapotranspiration) or latent heat (the energy required during a change of state, without a change in temperature). The Bowen ratio is generally used to calculate heat lost (or gained) in a substance; it is the ratio of energy fluxes from one state to another by ...

  4. Equivalent temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_temperature

    The energy needed to do that has been taken from the air. Taking a volume of air at temperature T and mixing ratio of r , drying it by condensation will restore energy to the airmass. This will depend on the latent heat release as: T e ≈ T + L v c p d r {\displaystyle T_{e}\approx T+{\frac {L_{v}}{c_{pd}}}r} where:

  5. Moist static energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moist_static_energy

    The moist static energy is a thermodynamic variable that describes the state of an air parcel, and is similar to the equivalent potential temperature. [1] The moist static energy is a combination of a parcel's enthalpy due to an air parcel's internal energy and energy required to make room for it, its potential energy due to its height above the surface, and the latent energy due to water ...

  7. Equivalent potential temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_potential...

    A rising parcel of air containing water vapor, if it rises far enough, reaches its lifted condensation level: it becomes saturated with water vapor (see Clausius–Clapeyron relation). If the parcel of air continues to rise, water vapor condenses and releases its latent heat to the

  8. Superheated steam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam

    Superheated steam was widely used in main line steam locomotives. Saturated steam has three main disadvantages in a steam engine: it contains small droplets of water which have to be periodically drained from the cylinders; being precisely at the boiling point of water for the boiler pressure in use, it inevitably condenses to some extent in the steam pipes and cylinders outside the boiler ...

  9. Logarithmic mean temperature difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_mean...

    Assume heat transfer [2] is occurring in a heat exchanger along an axis z, from generic coordinate A to B, between two fluids, identified as 1 and 2, whose temperatures along z are T 1 (z) and T 2 (z). The local exchanged heat flux at z is proportional to the temperature difference:
