Sublimation is caused by the absorption of heat which provides enough energy for some molecules to overcome the attractive forces of their neighbors and escape into the vapor phase. Since the process requires additional energy, sublimation is an endothermic change.
In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of sublimation, or heat of sublimation, is the heat required to sublimate (change from solid to gas) one mole of a substance at a given combination of temperature and pressure, usually standard temperature and pressure (STP). It is equal to the cohesive energy of the solid.
The latent internal energy of a system is the internal energy a system requires to undergo a phase transition. Its value is specific to the substance or mix of substances in question. The value can also vary with temperature and pressure. Generally speaking the value is different for the type of phase change being accomplished.
H sub, the standard enthalpy of atomization (or sublimation) of solid lithium. IE Li, the first ionization energy of gaseous lithium. B(F–F), the standard enthalpy of atomization (or bond energy) of fluorine gas. EA F, the electron affinity of a fluorine atom. U L, the lattice energy of lithium fluoride.

Mathematically, = =, where / is the slope of the tangent to the coexistence curve at any point, is the molar change in enthalpy (latent heat, the amount of energy absorbed in the transformation), is the temperature, is the molar volume change of the phase transition, and is the molar entropy change of the phase transition. Alternatively, the ...
Israeli researchers found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could improve PTSD in combat veterans. Dr. Marc Siegel discusses mental health in the military and how this treatment could help.
When designing a heat engine, the goal is to have the system produce and deliver work output. The source of energy in a heat engine, is a heat input. If the volume compresses (ΔV = final volume − initial volume < 0), then W < 0. That is, during isobaric compression the gas does negative work, or the environment does positive work. Restated ...
