  2. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    The ice had been heated for 21 times longer and had therefore received 7 × 21 = 147 “degrees of heat”. [a] The temperature of the ice had increased by 8 °F. The ice now stored, as it were, an additional 8 “degrees of heat” in a form which Black called sensible heat, manifested as temperature, which could be felt and measured. 147 ...

  3. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    The enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy required to convert one mole of solid into liquid. For example, when melting 1 kg of ice (at 0 °C under a wide range of pressures), 333.55 kJ of energy is absorbed with no temperature change. The heat of solidification (when a substance changes from liquid to solid) is equal and opposite.

    At near-IR wavelengths, the characteristics of the 1.65, 3.1, and 4.53 μm water absorption lines are dependent on the ice temperature and crystal order. [160] The peak strength of the 1.65 μm band as well as the structure of the 3.1 μm band are particularly useful in identifying the crystallinity of water ice. [161] [162]

    C p is therefore the slope of a plot of temperature vs. isobaric heat content (or the derivative of a temperature/heat content equation). The SI units for heat capacity are J/(mol·K). Molar heat content of four substances in their designated states above 298.15 K and at 1 atm pressure. CaO(c) and Rh(c) are in their normal standard state of ...

  6. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    Enthalpy (/ ˈ ɛ n θ əl p i / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function in thermodynamics used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  7. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    Ice is still used to cool and preserve food in portable coolers. [112] Ice cubes or crushed ice can be used to cool drinks. As the ice melts, it absorbs heat and keeps the drink near 0 °C (32 °F). [141] Ice can be used as part of an air conditioning system, using battery- or solar-powered fans to blow hot air over the

  8. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [4] Its enthalpy of sublimation is 571 kJ/kg (25.2 kJ/mol, 136.5 calorie/g). Dry ice is non-polar, with a dipole moment of zero, so attractive intermolecular van der Waals forces ...

    Black next showed that a water temperature of 176 °F was needed to melt an equal mass of ice until it was all 32 °F. So now 176 – 32 = 144 “degrees of heat” seemed to be needed to melt the ice. The modern value for the heat of fusion of ice would be 143 “degrees of heat” on the same scale (79.5 “degrees of heat Celsius”). [27] [25]
