Can sensible heat and latent heat transfers be read with a thermometer?
A thermometer measures sensible heat transfer, which is the heat transferred that causes a change in temperature. Latent heat transfer, on the other hand, involves the heat absorbed or released during a phase change (such as melting or boiling) and cannot be directly measured by a thermometer.
What two types of heat are removed by evaporator coil in the air conditioning process?
Sensible heat and latent heat are the two types of heat removed by the evaporator coil in the air conditioning process. Sensible heat is the heat that can be measured with a thermometer, while latent heat is the heat needed to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature.
What is the opposite of latent heat?
The opposite of latent heat is sensible heat. Sensible heat is the heat that causes a change in temperature of a substance without a change in phase.
Difference between sensible heat and latent heat?
Sensible heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes an immediate change in temperature without changing the state. While latent heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes a change in state without change in temperature. This difference can be applied to the certain properties of water/steam. This is called the thermodynamics properties of steam.
Can you measure Latent heat with a thermometer?
No, latent heat cannot be measured directly with a thermometer. Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change (e.g. melting, boiling) without a change in temperature. The amount of latent heat can be calculated using specific equations and constants for each substance.
