Specific latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kilogram (kg) of a material without changing its temperature. As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid ...

The latent heat flux—the energy associated with evaporation—was found to reach its lowest point in the morning and peak in the afternoon, while the sensible heat flux followed an opposite trend.

In this video, Jonny Nelson introduces an animated explanation of latent heat. Changes in a material’s temperature or state of matter are caused by changes to the internal energy. The energy ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Torino in Italy are testing how latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) could be used in combination with rooftop PV to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB).
