Sensible heat refers to the heat that is exchanged by a body or thermodynamic system. It involves a change in a substance's temperature.

Difference between latent heat from sensible heat?

Two forms of heat are relevant in air conditioning:1. Sensible Heat2. Latent HeatSensible heatWhen an object is heated, its temperature rises as heat is added. The increase in heat is called sensible heat. Similarly, when heat is removed from an object and its temperature falls, the heat removed is also called sensible heat. Heat that causes a change in temperature in an object is called sensible heat.Latent heatAll pure substances in nature are able to change their state. Solids can become liquids (ice to water) and liquids can become gases (water to vapor) but changes such as these require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat.Latent heat however, does not affect the temperature of a substance - for example, water remains at 100°C while boiling. The heat added to keep the water boiling is latent heat. Heat that causes a change of state with no change in temperature is called latent heat.Appreciating this difference is fundamental to understanding why refrigerant is used in cooling systems. It also explains why the terms 'total capacity' (sensible & latent heat) and 'sensible capacity' are used to define a unit's cooling capacity. During the cooling cycling, condensation forms within the unit due to the removal of latent heat from the air. Sensible capacity is the capacity required to lower the temperature and latent capacity is the capacity to remove the moisture from the air.


How much heat does it take to raise the temperature of a substance one degree?

The amount of heat required is called the specific sensible heat for the substance. Sensible, in this context, means something which can be sensed. This is in contrast to latent heat which is used to change the phase of a substance without a change in temperature.


What do you call heat that is added or removed from a substance but does not change the state of the substance sensible heat latent heat super heat or radiation heat?

Latent Heat.


What is room sensible heat factor?

It is the ratio of room sensible heat to the total heat.


Difference between sensible heat and latent heat?

Sensible heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes an immediate change in temperature without changing the state. While latent heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes a change in state without change in temperature. This difference can be applied to the certain properties of water/steam. This is called the thermodynamics properties of steam.


What is meant by sensible heat factor?

Sensible Heat Ratio - SHR - is defined as the sensible heat or cooling load divided by the total heat or cooling load.

Do all substances change when heat is added?

yes but only if you heat it enough


Does heat change all substances?

It depends on what change this is. If this is visible change, it may not be detected. Otherwise, heat does change substances in terms of kinetic energy of molecules in a body or average distance between the molecules of the body.
