There are probably several ways to build a heat pump; for example, a substance might be compressed and expanded. If latent heat is used, this is probably because it is easier and more efficient to build the heat pump that way.

What is the latent of vaporization?

The latent heat of vaporization is what is commonly referred to as boiling. This is the amount of energy require to change from a state of liquid to vapor.


Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?

The heat that causes a substance to change form is called latent heat. This heat is absorbed or released during a phase change, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation, without causing a change in temperature.


What does the heat latent heat of vaporization measure?

The energy required to boil a substance


What step changes liquid water to water vapor?

Vaporization is the change of liquid water to water vapor. Vaporization requires addition of the latent heat of vaporization to liquid water. The latent heat of vaporization supplies the liquid water molecules with enough energy to become vapor molecules. The latent heat of vaporization at 1.0 atmosphere pressure is about 1000 Btu per lbm ( 2260 kJ per kg ).


How your body cooled when you perspire?

Perspiration coats the outside of the skin with moisture (water). The water evaporates. Evaporation requires heat to be absorbed by the water (the latent heat of vaporization). Heat is removed from the body surface to provide the water with the latent heat of vaporization.


Why does the temperature stops rising during melting and boiling point?

Because the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization are very high


What does the latent heat of vaporization represent?

The amount of energy required to turn a mole of a liquid into a gas


What information does the latent heat of vaporization give?

The energy needed to completely vaporize a mole of a liquid


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.


What does L mean in the equation Heat equals mL?

L can either mean the latent heat of vaporization or condensation. The latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a liquid into a gas at its boiling point. The latent heat of condensation is the energy required to completely turn 1 kilogram of a solid into a liquid at its melting point.
