THE letter of Dr. J. Newton Friend in NATURE of December 26, 1936, on this subject raises interest in his equation. I have tested it with the following results: As many know, the variation of the ...

The relentless drive of Moore’s Law has made electronics smaller, faster, and more powerful, but at a dizzying cost: heat. As ...

As air passes through a cooling tower, it induces evaporation. For water to evaporate it must consume a large amount of energy to change state from a liquid to a gas. This is known as latent heat ...

It usually takes more energy to boil a substance than to melt it, so the latent heat of vaporisation for a substance is usually greater than its latent heat of fusion. The table shows some typical ...

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 ...

producing heat transfer through both sensible heat of air and latent heat of evaporation. A longstanding concern in the power industry involves the amount of water loss from cooling towers.

as it uses the latent heat of fusion of PCM and the latent heat of evaporation of water. “The drawback of the PV-PCM system is mitigated with the use of heat sink fins, which extract the heat ...
