 Heat of vaporization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is defined as the heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its boiling point under standard pressure (101.325 kPa).
Because vaporization is the opposite process of condensation, the term heat of condensation is also used.
The latter is defined as the heat released when one mole of the substance condenses at its boiling point under standard pressure.

The vapor is then condensed at this higher temperature and pressure and the heat of condensation is used to drive the generator of the bottoming cycle (secondary generator), which is at a lower temperature.
If the heat added to the generator is thought to be equivalent to the heat of condensation of the refrigerant, it becomes clear where the efficiency improvement comes from.
The water vapour evaporated in the generator at a higher temperature and pressure is condensed to liquid form in the condenser, where the heat of condensation is picked up by the cooling water from an absorber outlet circulating in the condenser tubes.

The steam's latent heat of condensation is passed to the water flowing through the tubes of the condenser.
Excessive condensate depression decreases the operating efficiency of the plant because the subcooled condensate must be reheated in the boiler, which in turn requires more heat from the reactor, fossil fuel, or other heat source.
Its suction is attached to the condenser, and it discharges to the atmosphere.

 Heat of Vaporization - Snow and Avalanche Glossary (CSAC)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The heat of vaporization is defined as the heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its standard boiling point.
When heat is added to a liquid, the kinetic energy of the molecules in the liquid increases and the increased motion of the molecules is reflected by a rise in the temperature of the liquid.
The continued addition of heat at that temperature is used to break down the intermolecular attractive forces, and also must provide the energy necessary to expand the gas.

 RMP Lecture Notes
The primary function of a condenser is to remove latent heat, although it is sometimes necessary to remove sensible heat as well.
Condensing vapor may be a single component or a mixture, with or without the presence of noncondensibles.
The flow may be laminar or turbulent, depending on the fluid, rate of condensation, tube size, etc. The film tends to thicken as it flows to the bottom of the tube, and the weight of the fluid may cause ripples to form.

 SQUARE ONE : Condensation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Humidity within a space can be offset by additional heating (which raises the temperature therefore lowers the relative humidity), or by ventilation which removes air humidified by moisture given off in the use of the building (human respiration, cooking etc.).
There is also a small additional benefit in that the condensation of moisture in a dehumidifier releases latent heat of condensation.
Each litre of water condensed gives about two-thirds of a kWh of heat to the room, in addition to the energy used to drive the unit, which is also released to the room.

 Making Clouds and Rain
Condensation of water onto condensation nuclei (or deposition of water vapour as ice on freezing nuclei) begins at a particular altitude known as the cloud base or lifting condensation level.
It is assisted by the property of water of giving off heat when changing from vapour to liquid and solid states, the latent heats of condensation and of deposition, respectively.
The first is by the continued condensation of water vapour into cloud droplets and thus increasing their volume/size until they become droplets.

That physical change releases heat as predictably as the rapid sundering of chemical bonds that reduces a piece of burning wood to a pile of ash.
It is called the "heat of condensation," and it appears as detectable heat, just as the evaporating water produced measurable cooling.
This releases the heat of condensation, which restores some of the lost heat to the column of air, causing it to rise some more.

Degassing of CO2 creates a CO2-containing atmosphere, which is heated by the warmer water below and becomes saturated with vapor, which condenses to the cooler wall of the cave, dissolves limestone and flows back to the lake.
The reason is that condensation of water at the cave wall releases heat of condensation of 2.45 kJoule/g.
For the reasons stated above the heat of condensation and the heat flux from the air raise the temperature of such samples much quicker than that of the cave walls.

 What is condensation?
Condensation is the formation of liquid drops from water vapor.
This is the heat that was absorbed when the water was originally evaporated from the surface of the Earth.
Another way in which condensation occurs is during the formation of dew.

The energy used for evaporation is the heat of condensation of the steam.
The heat of condensation is used to evaporate a film of saline water applied to the insides of the tubes within the evaporation chambers.
Thus, the feedwater is heated in a boiler to a high energy level and passed through a steam turbine before the steam is extracted for use at a lower temperature to provide the heat required in the distillation plants.

 Milk Heat Recovery Main   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Heating the water for these purposes requires about one-third of the electrical energy that is used in a dairy operation.
This cold water, either from the bottom of the storage tank or from the cold water inlet, is needed to condense the hot vapor into cooler liquid refrigerant while absorbing and carrying away the heat of condensation.
The amount of heat used for hot water on a dairy farm and the amount of heat that can be recovered from the refrigeration system both depend on the number of cows being milked.

 1999 Building Publications - Simple Prediction Method for Condensation Heat Transfer Inside a Micro-Fin Tube.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The method's fundamental premise is that the heat flux is directly proportional to the difference between the enthalpy of the vapor at saturated free stream conditions and the enthalpy of the condensed subcooled liquid at the wall.
The traditional method for modeling in-tube condensation uses Newton's law of cooling, which defines the heat flux to be directly proportional to the temperature difference rather than the enthalpy difference.
Kraay and Rite have used an enthalpy-based expression for the condensation heat flux where the condensation mass velocity was derived from kinetic theory.

Your body's heat is supplying the energy needed to speed up the molecular motion in the sweat to turn it into water vapor.
This heat is latent heat, and the evaporated water is carrying it away from your body - it's cooling you off.
The amount of latent heat involved in a process depends to some extent on the temperature at which the process is occurring.

 latent heat
Latent heat is the heat energy involved in the phase change of water.
The heat added during evaporation is used to break hydrogen bonds between water molecules and does not raise the temperature of the water body.
Latent heat released during condensation is an important source of energy to drive atmospheric systems like hurricanes and cumulus clouds.
