  Standard enthalpy change of vaporization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The standard enthalpy change of condensation (or heat of condensation) is numerically exactly equal to the standard enthalpy change of vaporisation, but has the opposite sign: enthalpy changes of vaporisation are always positive (heat is absorbed by the substance), whereas enthalpy changes of condensation are always negative (heat is released by the substance).
This is particularly true of metals, which often form covalently bonded molecules in the gas phase: in these cases, the standard enthalpy change of atomization must be used to obtain a true value of the bond energy.
An alternative description is to view the enthalpy change of condensation as the heat which must be released to the surroundings to compensate for the drop in entropy when a gas condenses to a liquid.

Latent heats of fusion vary widely, and values should always be accompanied by the temperatures at which they were measured (these are not necessarily the normal melting points).
The latent heat of evaporation is the energy required to overcome the molecular forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid, and bring them to the vapour state, where such attractions are minimal.

Heat transfer to the generator causes separation of water vapour thereby pure vapour flows into the condenser while the strong solution of Lithium-Bromide returns into absorber.
Replacement of the Compressor: The object of a compressor in the vapour compression refrigeration system is to withdraw the vapour from the evaporator and compress them to such pressure corresponding to which the saturation temperature is higher than the cooling agent in the condenser.

 TPX experiment
The purpose of the TPX experiment was to demonstrate heat transport by means of two-phase loops under space conditions and to compare in-flight data with terrestrial test data and thermal modelling predictions.
Heat, supplied to two parallel capillary pumped evaporators (a flat one and a cylindrical one), causes evaporation of the working fluid, sets the mass flow rate and generates the pumping pressure to maintain the working fluid circulation in the system.
The heat, extracted from the fluid in the condenser sections and the subcooler, is radiated to space via the GAS canister lid.

 Heat Pipe? - Overclockers Forums
The main advantage a heat pipe of this sort would have is that it uses convection to carry the heat away from the source.
The phase change allows more heat to be absorbed into the pipe, but convection is the method that transfers the heat from one end of the pipe to the other.
Now 'cold' end of the heat pipe may be cooled itself on the outside by convection, but convection is not the manner that heat is being moved within the pipe itself.

Heating, evaporation and diffusion of the residual droplet is accelerated by the release of reaction heat from the ignition zone.
The heat losses in small bombs were found to be very great, and it was concluded that it is advantageous to build an engine with a few large cylinders rather than with many small ones.
Complete vapourisation, however, would be impossible since cooling of the boost air would be too great for the process to be controllable, and at the low temperatures involved hydrogen peroxide would become solid.

For example in the domestic 'fridge the evaporator takes in heat from the body of the fridge or the 'ice box' and discards heat at the back of the fridge through a series of coiled pipework called the condenser.
Heat is extracted from the air or water thus cooling it down.
This heat exchanger is called an EVAPORATOR since the volatile liquid is evaporated into the vapour state from the liquid state as shown below.

 Temperature - Vent-Axia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Sweating is highly efficient because the heat of vapourisation of water is 540 cal/g.
For bodily comfort the heat produced by the body, which may normally vary between 120 and 440 watts depending on the amount of activity, must be dissipated to preserve the inner body temperature at about 36.9°C, and this is done naturally by heat loss from the skin.
If the air surrounding the body is cool, heat loss is rapid, but if very warm air surround the body it may gain heat from the air, and this additional heat must be dispersed as well as that generated by the body.

 Fan death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If the fan is left on all night in a sealed and enclosed room, believers in fan death suppose that it will lower the temperature of the room to the point that it can cause hypothermia.
Empirical measurements will show, however, that the temperature in the room does not fall, at least not due to the fan; if at all, it should rise slightly because of friction and the heat output of the fan motor, but even this is generally not significant.
Fans actually make one cooler by increasing the convection around a person's body so that heat flows from them to the air more easily, and by the latent heat of vapourisation as perspiration evaporates from the body.

 Evaporation
The sensor also records the vapour pressure or humidity of the air at the same height as the temperatures were measured.
Following this the partial pressure of water vapour in the air was calculated and plotted against time, however the data aquired was noisy so a spline was fitted (with lamda = 1) to both; and predicted e (partial pressure of water vapour) was saved (see graphs below).
After the calculations of the Bowen Ratio and the soil heat flux the evaporation rate was calculated in millimetres, again the results were noisy so a spline was fitted with lamda = 2.

 BBC - Rough Science - Ice Challenge
The latent heat of vapourisation of a liquid is the amount of energy in joules required to turn one gram of the liquid into a vapour.
When you get out of the shower or bath and feel cold it is because for every gram of water that evaporates from your skin 2264 joules (539 calories) of energy are being used to evaporate that gram of water.
The energy is taken in the form of heat from you and therefore you feel cold.

 Construction of the first refrigerant to coolant heat exchanger (Designing the heat exchanger)
This translates to a heat resistance between evaporating refrigerant and coolant of about 0.01 K/W. Based on my experience with waterjackets, this is no problem, even with a modest evaporator coil surface area and only 500L/hr coolant flow.
The latent heat of vapourisation of R134a is 217kJ/kg of refrigerant.
This is useful during experimenting, and the heat exchanger can serve as a direct replacement for the standard radiator used in my current watercooling system.

In fact, the outline of the dome by definition is precisely the conditions that define the latent heat condition: the curve on the left represents saturated liquid (& solid in some cases) while the section of the dome on the right represents the saturated vapor.
And it is the length of the horizontal line (constant pressure) that links both sides of the dome that defines the latent heat of vaporization or sublimation.

 Review of Physical Processes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The latent heat of fusion (Lf) is the energy per unit mass which must be added to cross the solid/liquid phase boundary, the latent heat of vapourisation (Lv) relates to crossing the liquid/vapour boundary and the latent heat of sublimation (Ls) relates to crossing the solid/vapour boundary.
Finally, when the vapourisation line is hit at point C, additional heat transfer will result in a phase change (evaporation) and the liquid water will begin to change into the vapour phase (the temperature at which this takes place is called the saturation temperature and the pressure is the saturation pressure).
This means that the rate at which the natural logarithm of the vapour pressure (P) of a liquid changes with temperature is determined by the molar enthalpy of vapourisation of the liquid (Hvap), the ideal gas constant (R) and the temperature of the system (T).
