Themetabolic heatgenerated inside human body is dissipated through the skin to the environment as sensible, or dry, heat and as latent heat.Latent heat lossrepresents theevaporation of waterin the respiratory system and from the skin. Thus latent heat depends on the moistness of the skin andrel...
Eq. (4.1)can be rearranged as follows to present the heat of fusion of the matter: (4.3)ΔHs→l=TmΔSs→l This equation shows that the magnitude of the latent heat of fusion depends on the magnitude of the melting point and changes in the entropy of fusion.Fig. 4.2shows the entropy...
When heat is applied to a substance, its temperature rises. Conversely, when heat is removed from a substance, its temperature falls. The quantity of heat necessary to produce a given change in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of a substance. It is seen that heat capacity ...
Latent heat and sensible heat are two types of heat transfer between an object and its environment. Tables are compiled for the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization. Sensible heat, in turn, depends on the composition of a body. Latent Heat of Fusion: Latentheat of fusionis...
This equation states that the heat Q that must be added or removed for an object of mass m to change phases. We denote Individual latent heat by L. The unit of latent heat isJkg−1. The value of latent heat is variable. It depends on the nature of the phase change taking place: ...
Heat Transfer: Conduction Power = Q/t = k*A* T/L where k is a constant that depends on the material, called the thermal conductivity; where A is the cross sectional area; where L is the distance from the hot end to the cold end; and T is the temperature difference between the hot...
the average particle diameter of the heat-storage material is 0.1 to 500 µm. 6. A latent-heat storage type adsorbent composition for canisters according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the heat-storage material is adhered to and/or deposited on the surface of the adsorbent. 7...
Under these circumstances, the flat slab segment subducts horizontally about 350 km further and for about 11 Ma longer than in the case without latent heat, before it breaks through the 400-km phase transition. The style of subduction strongly depends on the mantle rheology: increasing the ...
Conversely, when heat is removed from a substance, its temperature falls. The quantity of heat necessary to produce a given change in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of a substance. It is seen that heat capacity applies to an object or substance as a whole; consequently, it...
Similar arguments apply to sublimation processes at the surface but the latent heat of sublimation is used for L. The latent heat flux depends on the amount of water substance present; a very warm, humid atmosphere releases much more latent heat than cold, dry air for a given degree of ...
