  2. Specific 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. 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.

  4. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    It also allows us to determine the specific volume of a saturated vapor and liquid at that provided temperature. In the equation below, represents the specific latent heat, represents temperature, and represents the change in specific volume. [3]

  5. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    Specific heat capacity often varies with temperature, and is different for each state of matter. Liquid water has one of the highest specific heat capacities among common substances, about 4184 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1 at 20 °C; but that of ice, just below 0 °C, is only 2093 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1.

  6. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    The molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit amount (SI unit: mole) of a pure substance, and the specific heat capacity, often called simply specific heat, is the heat capacity per unit mass of a material. Heat capacity is a physical property of a substance, which means that it depends on the state and properties of the substance under ...

  7. Sensible heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensible_heat

    Sensible heat and latent heat are not special forms of energy. Rather, they describe exchanges of heat under conditions specified in terms of their effect on a material or a thermodynamic system. In the writings of the early scientists who provided the foundations of thermodynamics, sensible heat had a clear meaning in calorimetry.

  8. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]

  9. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Another definition of the LHV is the amount of heat released when the products are cooled to 150 °C (302 °F). This means that the latent heat of vaporization of water and other reaction products is not recovered. It is useful in comparing fuels where condensation of the combustion products is impractical, or heat at a temperature below 150 ...
