A group of scientists from the Technical University of Madrid has fabricated a latent heat thermophotovoltaic (LHTPV) battery that is able to store electricity in the form of latent heat at ...

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 ...

Understanding how lakes exchange heat and moisture with the atmosphere is crucial for regional water resource management and ...

In this video, Jonny Nelson introduces an animated explanation of latent heat. Changes in a material’s temperature or state of matter are caused by changes to the internal energy. The energy ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Torino in Italy are testing how latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) could be used in combination with rooftop PV to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB). NZEBS ...

During the devastating wildfires impacting several areas in Los Angeles, California, video taken by KTLA from the Palisades ...

Now, to figure how much energy is discharged when all that rain is produced, you have to use the so-called "latent heat of condensation." When water vapor cools sufficiently, it condenses into ...

The heating curve of water. Note the flat lines on the curve where the latent heat must be overcome to change phase. Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as ...
