Sentences with phrase «latent heat»
"Latent heat" refers to the heat that is absorbed or released when a substance undergoes a change in state, such as from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. It doesn't result in a temperature change, but it helps in the process of changing the substance's state. Full definition
The exceptionally high «latent heat of evaporation» of water is one of the most remarkable properties of this most remarkable of substances.

If the glacier surface is very cold, it may also receive some energy by latent heat transfer, through frosting of atmospheric moisture onto the glacier.
When liquid water freezes, to become solid ice, there is never any heating of the water due to the removal of the 80 calories per gram of latent heat energy of fusion.
What has the the efficiency of latent heat transport by water vapor got to do with calculating the total potential energy or the total kinetic energy in the atmosphere?
What it means is that whatever goes into latent heat is released in 9 days on average and therefore immediately [from a climate viewpoint] increases the temperature.
Because latent heat losses are primarily fuel - related, they can not be easily changed without switching or drying your fuel.
In the tropics which are prone to deep convection, the water vapor response to warmer temperature also promotes a less steep lapse rate owing to latent heat effects.
A better representation in computer models of the response of evaporation and surface latent heat exchange with temperature is a primary requirement if the uncertainty about anthropogenic global warming is to be reduced.
The answer is that it depends on where latent heat shows up in the atmosphere.
However, the ratio of latent heat removal to sensible heat removal is a function of equipment design and weather conditions; it is out of the control of the homeowner.
How much of the energy within the atmosphere is other then radiative, conducted from the surface to convection currents, and or latent heat moved via evaporation?
The major one looks to be additional latent heat provided by evaporation which is being caused additional back radiation and the warmer water column.
This can only happen if the land is drying out leading to more sensible and less latent heat flux at the surface.
