Sensible heat is heat exchanged by a body or thermodynamic system in which the exchange of heat changes the temperature of the body or system, and some macroscopic variables of the body or system, but leaves unchanged certain other macroscopic variables of the body or system, such as volume or pressure. [1][2][3][4]
The main difference between latent heat and sensible heat is that latent heat is defined for a system that undergoes a phase change of matter whereas the sensible heat is defined for a system that has no change in the phase of matter.
Sensible heat is literally the heat that can be felt. It is the energy moving from one system to another that changes the temperature rather than changing its phase. For example, it warms water rather than melting ice.
When a material changes temperature, it absorbs or releases sensible heat. The amount of heat depends on the mass, material, and temperature change (Q = mc∆T).
Sensible heat is heat that can be felt and measured by a thermometer. ''Latent'' literally means ''hidden,'' so latent heat is hidden heat that doesn't result in a measurable change in...
Sensible heat causes a change in temperature without altering the phase of a substance, while latent heat refers to energy absorbed or released during phase changes such as melting or boiling without a temperature change.
Sensible heat is the amount of thermal energy that can be added to or removed from a substance without causing a change in its phase. This heat is detected by a change in temperature, which is why it's called 'sensible'—you can sense the temperature change.
Sensible Heat. The sensible heat in a heating or cooling process of air (heating or cooling capacity) can be calculated in SI-units as. hs = cp ρ q dt (1) where. hs = sensible heat (kW) cp = specific heat of air (1.006 kJ/kg oC) ρ = density of air (1.202 kg/m3 ) q = air volume flow (m3 /s) dt = temperature difference (oC) Or in Imperial units as.
Latent heat and sensible heat are two forms of heat transfer that occur during phase changes of a substance. Sensible heat refers to the heat transfer that causes a change in temperature of a substance without changing its state.
Sensible heat is the name for energy in the form of heat that brings about either an increase or a decrease in temperature. Its name comes from the fact that it can be sensed as a change in temperature. Transfer of this type of heat energy occurs as either conduction or convection.
