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 ...

The table shows some typical values: Substance Specific latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg ... the temperature of a known mass of ice can be monitored each second. This will generate a graph that ...

The system uses ice or ice slurry as the heat source ... effective with water as the heat source due to water's high latent heat of fusion, enabling substantial energy absorption with low mass.” ...

which are able to store energy during their fusion process, thus producing the so-called “latent heat.” According to the research team, a liter of silicon material is able to store more than ...
