Latent heat

Latent heat is the release or storage of heat associated with change in phase of a substance, without a change in the substance's temperature. It is the "hidden" quantity of heat absorbed or released when a material changes phase without a change in temperature.

Power

Power is defined as the measure of energy consumed over a period of time. When energy is extracted, converted into a useful form, and used in an application, power is the result. The unit used to define power in the customary system is Btu per hour (Btu/hr). For brevity, it is sometimes written as Btu/hr (or MBH for thousand Btu per hour and MMBH for million Btu per hour). The amount of energy used to fuel a furnace at its maximum firing capacity (usually for a period of one hour) is its input power rating (e.g., the power rating of an appliance that can deliver 100 000 Btu in an hour is 100 MBH).

What is Specific heat (c)

Specific heat (c) is defined scientifically as the amount of heat that must be added or removed from one pound of substance to change its temperature by one degree. The unit of specific heat in the engineering system is Btu per pound per degree temperature change (Btu/lb °F) or Joules per pound per degree temperature change (J/kg °C).

What is specific heat capacity

Specific heat capacity (C) is defined as the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a specific volume of substance one degree. The property of specific heat capacity of a substance is measured in Btu per cubic foot per degree temperature change (Btu/ft3 °F).

Absolute zero = ____________ degrees F

Quantity of heat (Q)

is measured in British thermal units and joules. In scientific terms, the British thermal unit (Btu) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb (0.45 kg) of water from 59.5°F (15.3°C) to 60.5°F (15.8°C) at constant pressure of standard atmosphere pressure.

The ________________________ of a space is a measure of the combined effects of the temperatures of surfaces within that space

mean radiant temperature (MRT)

This __________________ heating process involves adding heat to air without changing its moisture content

sensible

Heat

the agitation or motion of atoms and molecules. It is thermal energy in motion. Heat always flows from a substance at a higher temperature to the substance at a lower temperature, raising the temperature of the lower temperature substance and lowering the temperature of the higher temperature substance.

Sensible heat

the heat associated with change in temperature of a substance. It appears that the addition or removal of heat from a substance changes its temperature in proportion to the heat added or removed; that is, as heat is added to a substance its temperature typically increases, and when heat is removed the temperature of the substance typically decreases. This phenomenon is referred to as sensible heating . It is "sensible" because it can be observed by the sense of touch.
