enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆Hvap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must...

heat transfer, a condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In so doing, the latent heat...

Q_{sensible}=mc\Delta T\,.} Sensible heat and latent heat are not special forms of energy. Rather, they describe exchanges of heat under conditions specified in...

of the LHV is the amount of heat released when the products are cooled to 150 °C (302 °F). This means that the latent heat of vaporization of water and...
