  2. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    The terms sensible heat and latent heat refer to energy transferred between a body and its surroundings, defined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of temperature change; they depend on the properties of the body. Sensible heat is sensed or felt in a process as a change in the body's temperature.

  3. Bowen ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowen_ratio

    The Bowen ratio is calculated by the equation: =, where is sensible heating and is latent heating. In this context, when the magnitude of is less than one, a greater proportion of the available energy at the surface is passed to the atmosphere as latent heat than as sensible heat, and the converse is true for values of greater than one.

  4. 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.

  5. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    Because latent heat storage (LHS) is associated with a phase transition, the general term for the associated media is Phase-Change Material (PCM). During these transitions, heat can be added or extracted without affecting the material's temperature, giving it an advantage over SHS-technologies. Storage capacities are often higher as well.

    “The freezer reduces exposure to air, moisture, light, and heat, helping to extend their lifetime,” says Woods. (It can also keep the healthy fats in the germ of these grains from going rancid ...

  7. Calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimetry

    The latent heat with respect to volume can also be called the 'latent energy with respect to volume'. For all of these usages of 'latent heat', a more systematic terminology uses 'latent heat capacity'. The heat capacity at constant volume is the heat required for unit increment in temperature at constant volume.
