First described and named by Joseph Black, Black's student James Watt improved Newcomen's steam engine by reducing its loss.
In thermodynamic terms this value is equal to the change in internal energy plus the pressure times the change in volume. First described and named by Joseph Black, Black's student James Watt improved Newcomen's steam engine by reducing its loss. Arising from the attractive forces of a substance's molecules and the pressure of the atmosphere exerted on it, FTP, what is this quantity of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes phase at constant temperature, which comes in fusion and vaporization varieties?
In thermodynamic terms this value is equal to the change in internal energy plus the pressure times the change in volume.
Latent heat (accept latent heat of fusion or vaporization)
