Latent heat
Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change without a change in its temperature. This concept is important in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, which regulate indoor climates by controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality. When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, it undergoes a phase change. During this transition, latent heat is either absorbed or released. For example, during evaporation, water absorbs...
