You probably know that a beer sleeve manages to keep the can cold for longer. But do you know how it works? There's a cool ...

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 following law has been established. The total amottnt of heat in any body is the sum of its latent heat and its sensible heat. The latent heat is determined by the known capacity of the body ...

Researchers in Italy are combining PV with latent heat thermal storage (LHTM) and other renewable energy sources to maximize clean energy consumption in buildings. The 47kW PV array and LHTM ...

The relationship used to determine the heat energy required to change the state of a substance is: \(E_{h} = ml\) \(E_{h}\) is the energy required to change the state ( \(J\)) \(l\) is the ...

The heating curve of water. Note the flat lines on the curve where the latent heat must be overcome to change phase. Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as ...
