  2. Sensible heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensible_heat

    The sensible heat of a thermodynamic process may be calculated as the product of the body's mass (m) with its specific heat capacity (c) and the change in temperature (): =. Joule described sensible heat as the energy measured by a thermometer. Sensible heat and latent heat are not special forms of energy. Rather, they describe exchanges of ...

  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. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    Sensible heat is sensed or felt in a process as a change in the body's temperature. Latent heat is energy transferred in a process without change of the body's temperature, for example, in a phase change (solid/liquid/gas). Both sensible and latent heats are observed in many processes of transfer of energy in nature.

  5. Stefan number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_number

    The Stefan number [1] (St or Ste) is defined as the ratio of sensible heat to latent heat.It is given by the formula =, where c p is the specific heat, . c p is the specific heat of solid phase in the freezing process while c p is the specific heat of liquid phase in the melting process.

    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 ...

  7. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    The energy needed to evaporate the water is taken from the air in the form of sensible heat and converted into latent heat, while the air remains at a constant enthalpy. Latent heat describes the amount of heat that is needed to evaporate the liquid; this heat comes from the liquid itself and the surrounding gas and surfaces.

  8. Heat - Wikipedia

    The ice had now absorbed an additional 8 “degrees of heat”, which Black called sensible heat, manifest as temperature change, which could be felt and measured. 147 – 8 = 139 “degrees of heat” were also absorbed as latent heat, manifest as phase change rather than as temperature change.

  9. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    Examples: heat of vaporization or heat of fusion). For hydrogen, the difference is much more significant as it includes the sensible heat of water vapor between 150 °C and 100 °C, the latent heat of condensation at 100 °C, and the sensible heat of the condensed water between 100 °C and 25 °C.
