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/gas, ...

The specific latent heat of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of the substance without changing its temperature. It usually takes more energy to boil a substance ...

Computations of sensible and latent heat fluxes over forest and crop canopies using the Thornthwaite-Holzman equations require an à priori knowledge of roughness and data displacement heights. If the ...
