latent heat of condensation
1latent heat of condensation — The amount of heat given off when a substance changes from a vapor to the liquid without changing temperature …
2Latent heat flux — is the flux of heat from the Earth s surface to the atmosphere that is associated with evaporation of water at the surface and subsequent condensation of water vapor in the troposphere. It is an important component of Earth s surface energy… …
3latent heat — Physics. heat absorbed or radiated during a change of phase at constant temperature and pressure. Cf. heat of fusion, heat of vaporization. [1750 60] * * * Characteristic amount of energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change in… …
4Latent heat — In thermochemistry, latent heat is the amount of energy in the form of heat released or absorbed by a substance during a change of phase state(i.e. solid, liquid, or gas), ndash; also called a phase transition.cite book | author=Perrot, Pierre |… …
5heat of condensation — noun heat liberated by a unit mass of gas at its boiling point as it condenses into a liquid (Freq. 1) the heat of condensation is equal to the heat of vaporization • Hypernyms: ↑latent heat, ↑heat of transformation * * * : heat evolved when a… …
6latent heat — release of heat during a change of state. Condensation of water releases latent heat to the atmosphere because it no longer needs the heat energy that was put in to change it from liquid to gas in the first place …
