Can sensible heat and latent heat transfers be read with a thermometer?
yes
Can a sensible heat and latent heat transfers be read with a thermometer?
yes
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 does a conductor absorb heat?
A conductor does not absorb heat, it conducts heat so that the heat is evenly dispersed. It seems like it absorbs heat but it transfers heat to somewhere else.
The processes of condensation and freezing?
both release sensible heat into the environment.
Is it true that in order for water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit to boil it must absorb both sensible and latent heat?
True
What is room sensible heat factor?
It is the ratio of room sensible heat to the total heat.
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.
What is sensible heat?
Sensible heating is the process of changing the temperature of an object. The increase and removal of heat are considered sensible heating.
Sensible heat involves a change in a substance's?
Sensible heat refers to the heat that is exchanged by a body or thermodynamic system. It involves a change in a substance's temperature.
How is the tundra lichen adapted to the tundra?
They can stop metabolic processes in extremes of cold. They have dark pigments to help them absorb heat. They can absorb moisture form snow and ice.
What is the best way to change the sensible heat level of the evaporator?
what is the best way to change the sensible heat level of the evaporator
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
Do flowers absorb heat?
Flowers use their epicalyx and calyx to absorb sunlight.
Can a sponge absorb heat?
A sponge definitely does have the ability to absorb heat. Sponges absorb heat as well as many other things like water.
