Sentences with phrase «about heats of vaporization»

When you start talking about heats of vaporization and fusion, the implication is that you're talking about convection, specifically latent heat transfer.

Not exact matches

The surface heat capacity C (j = 0) was set to the equivalent of a global layer of water 50 m deep (which would be a layer ~ 70 m thick over the oceans) plus 70 % of the atmosphere, the latent heat of vaporization corresponding to a 20 % increase in water vapor per 3 K warming (linearized for current conditions), and a little land surface; expressed as W * yr per m ^ 2 * K (a convenient unit), I got about 7.093.

Movement of water vapor, and its associated latent heat of vaporization, is also responsible for about 50 % of the transport of heat from the tropics to the poles.

Think about the difference in magnitude between the heat of vaporization of water and the heat capacity of air.

Dave Springer says: «That's not quite right about steam... Where you wandered off the reservation seemed to be implying that water vapor molecules must carry the energy of 212F sensible heat plus heat of vaporization which is about a thousand times the sensible heat.

That 490 watts includes about 100 watts in convection and latent heat of vaporization.
