Chapter 54, Problem 1RQ

What is the amount of heat necessary to change the state of a substance called?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The name given to the amount of heat necessary to change the state of a substance.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The heat necessary to change the state of a substance is termed as latent heat.

Explanation of Solution

When there is a change in state of a substance that is the substance becomes liquid from solid or vapor from liquid or vice versa, a huge amount of heat is required, this heat is termed as latent heat of vaporization and this process is termed as phase change.

Phase change is quite a complex process and during this process, no change in pressure or temperature is observed.

Conclusion:

Thus, the heat necessary to change the state of a substance is termed as latent heat.

(6) Determine the sizes of fuel orifice to give a 13.5 air fuel ratio, if the venture throat has 3 cm diameter and the pressure drop in the venture is 6.5 cm Hg. The air temperature and pressure at carburetor entrance are 1 bar and 27 °C respectively. The fuel orifice is at the same level as that of the float chamber. Take density of gasoline as (7 deg.) 740 kg/m³ and discharge coefficient as unity. Assume atmospheric pressure to be 76 cm of Hg.
