What is released as sensible heat during the formation of clouds?
Latent heat.
Why does a ice cube stay at 0 degrees even though it is being heated up?
Latent heat. Ice absorbs heat when it melts, but it still stays at 0 degrees until its all liquid, then its temperature rises.
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.
Why does steam at 100 degrees Celsius do more damage to the skin than water at 100 degrees Celsius?
The heat content of steam is much greater than of liquid water at the same temperature. That makes that the speed of heat penetration INTO the (deeper parts of the) skin is higher and thus it's effects are more severe. Condensation on skin adds a lot of (condensation) heat to that.
What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?
1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.
What happen to the energy being put into water when it reaches 100 degrees?
It turns from latent energy into sensible energy when steam is created
What is released as sensible heat during the formation of clouds?
Latent heat.
Can a sensible heat and latent heat transfers be read with a thermometer?
yes
Can 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.
When water at 212 degrees F boils is it is only absorb latent heat?
The water has already reached the 212 degree boiling point. At 212 degrees the water can exist as either a liquid or a vapor. Absorbing the latent heat pushes liquid to the vapor state without any 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.
How much heat can a central air conditioner remove?
It`s rated capacity in sensible and latent heat.
What is the specific latent heat of fusion of mercury?
The specific heat temperature of mercury is 14 degrees Celsius. Comparably, the specific temperature of water is 417.9 degrees and air is 101 degrees.
What is the difference between sensible heat gain and latent heat gain?
When an object is hot, the temperature rises as heat is added. This increase in heat is called sensible heat. Solids can become liquids and liquids can become gases but changes like this require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat.
How many btu's we add to one 15 pounds of water at 212 Fahrenheit to make steam at 212 Fahrenheit?
The latent heat of vaporization of water at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure involving only vaporization and no saturation is 970 BTU/lb, so to evaporate 15 lbs of water we need 970 x 15 = 14550 BTU's
What is the job of the evaporator in the refrigeration system?
To absorb the heat from the refrigerated area using latent heat of evaporation.
