latent heat :)
Heat which causes a change in temperature of substance is called specific 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.
Heat associated with phase change is called Latent Heat
Increasing the heat energy of a substance causes the particles to move faster and have more kinetic energy. This can lead to an increase in the substance's temperature, change in state (solid to liquid to gas), or possibly result in chemical reactions depending on the substance.
The heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance is known as the specific heat capacity of that substance. It is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree Celsius.

Sensible heat involves a change in a substance's temperature without a change in its phase. It is the heat exchange that causes a change in the temperature of a substance but does not result in a change of state (solid, liquid, gas).
The process of heat causing a liquid to change to a gas is called evaporation. The heat increases the speed of the particles within the substance, making them expand and diverge. Once this occurs, the increased energy within the particles causes the substance to change stages into a gas.
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 energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas is called the enthalpy (or heat) of vaporization.
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.
The addition of heat or reduction in pressure can cause a substance to change from either a solid (sublimation) or liquid (evaporation) into a gas.

A change of state where energy is removed from a substance is called an exothermic reaction. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light or 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.
