A recent model equates a quantity of this kind with the product of the maximum surface area, the surface tension, and the number of atoms in a liquid.
A recent model equates a quantity of this kind with the product of the maximum surface area, the surface tension, and the number of atoms in a liquid. This quantity's flux appears in the denominator of the Bowen ratio, whose numerator contains the related "sensible" quantity. Increased low-level convergance, buoyancy, and updrafts are created by exploiting this quantity in cloud seeding. The "specific" form of this quantity is equal to Q over m. This quantity divided by the product of temperature and volume is the slope of the coexistence curve in the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. This quantity was first theorized after the observation that adding heat to ice in water melts the ice without raising the temperature. For 10 points, name this kind of heat involved in fusion and vaporization.
