Because LPG is a mixture, the value of the latent heat will depend on the exact composition of the mixture. The main components of LPG are:
- propane - C3H8
- propylene (propene) - C3H6
- isobutane - C4H10
- n-butane - C4H10
- butylene (butene) - C4H8
Since LPG is usually mostly propane and butane, a rough estimate would be in the range of the values for these two components. Note that latent heat is dependent on temperature as well. for the purposes of this answer we will use 30 °F (near the boiling point of butane at atmospheric pressure)
Hvap(propane @ 30 °F) = 163 BTU/lb
Hvap(butane @ 30 °F) = 166 BTU/lb

What is the symbol for Dorian LPG Ltd in the NYSE?
The symbol for Dorian LPG Ltd. in the NYSE is: LPG.
What pressure of lpg required for lpg burner?
2.75kpa, LPG burns 102MJ/h per m3
Why add mercaptans in lpg?
Mercapta is added to LPG to make sure wheather it is leaking or not.
Is LPG fuel renewable?
No, LPG fuel is not renewable. This is because LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) is recovered from the natural gas in oil wells, and since oil is not renewable neither is LPG.
What is the energy value for lpg?
The heating value of the LPG is about 46 MJ/kg.
Specific heat and latent heat of LPG?
The specific heat of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is approximately 2.0 kJ/kg°C. The latent heat of vaporization for LPG is around 440 kJ/kg at atmospheric pressure, which is the amount of energy required to convert 1 kg of LPG from liquid to gas at its boiling point without a change in temperature.
What is the symbol for latent heat?
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
What is energy produced from LPG stove?
Energy is produced from an LPG stove by burning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which releases heat energy. This heat energy is used to cook food or heat a space.
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.
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.
What requires more energy the latent heat vaporisation of water or the latent fusion of ice?
The latent heat of vaporisation of water requires more energy. This is because on melting, the intermolecular bonds in water are only weakened whereas on boiling, the bonds are completely broken, which requires a larger amount of energy.
Can latent heat be zero?
No, latent heat cannot be zero because it represents the heat energy absorbed or released during a phase change of a substance, such as melting, freezing, evaporation, or condensation. This energy is required to break intermolecular bonds or create them, so it cannot be zero.
