Latent Heat is the amount of heat transfer during a phase change, like when ice melts or liquid water boils to steam. The temperature is constant during this change. The amount of heat depends on the particular substance and the mass of substance. The units of Latent Heat property are something like calories per gram, or kiloJoules/kg. So it is Energy over mass. Since energy is (force)*(length) which is (mass)*(length^2) / (time^2), dividing by mass leaves us with (Length^2) / (Time^2), or (Velocity)^2, which is interesting.
What else can I help you with?
Is dimension for latent heat and gravitional pull equal?
s
How do you find dimension of latent heat?
dimensions are just the measurements of Length, width and Height so i think to measure the dimension you just measure the object and record the distance
How latent heat is an important source of atmospheric energy?
In the atmosphere latent heat is a property of water vapour. When water vapour condenses it releases latent heat, and latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water. This heat affects the behaviour of the weather. Similar effects occur in the change from liquid water to ice and vice versa.
What is the symbol for latent heat?
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
What is the opposite of latent heat?
The opposite of latent heat is sensible heat. Sensible heat is the heat that causes a change in temperature of a substance without a change in phase.
The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?
The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.
Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
What is the difference of heat and heat capacity?
Heat capacity is the amount of heat something can take before it changes temperature by a degree. If we use water as an example, it is said to have a high heat capacity as you need to heat it a lot before it changes temperature at all. Latent means not yet existing. Latent heat is therefore referring to the amount of heat it would take something for it to change state. Water is said to have a high latent heat of vaporisation. That means that it takes a lot of heat to vaporise water. While heat capacity talks about how much heat something can take, latent heat talks about how much heat something requires to cause a change. Similar concepts but they have slight differences.
How do you define latent heat and What is its relationship to potential energy?
Latent heat is the heat required to achieve a change of phase - for example, to melt ice and convert it to water. As to the relationship with potential energy, latent heat IS a type of potential energy.
Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?
latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.
