Latent Heat

Latent Heat 
- Latent Heat is the heat given up or absorbed by a substance as it changes state. It is called latent because it is not associated with a change in temperature. Each substance has a characteristic latent heat of fusion, latent heat of vaporization, latent heat of condensation and latent heat of sublimation.

Latent Heat

Latent Heat”- The heat required to change a liquid to a gas (or the heat that must be removed from a gas to condense it to a liquid), without any change in temperature.

• Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one object to another object.
• Heat Is a form of energy transferred by a difference in temperature.
• Heat transfer can occur, when there is a temperature difference between two or more objects. Heat will only flow from a warm object to a colder object.
• The heat transfer is greatest, when there is a large temperature difference between two objects.

Thermal conductivity calculations, experiments, molecular simulations

Nowadays various experimental procedures are there to calculate the thermal conductivity of various materials using various techniques. Th...
