The latent heat of fusion is about 264 289 kJ / kg.
2.
As it does so it absorbs an amount of heat energy called the latent heat of fusion.
3.
The latent heat of fusion is the enthalpy change of any amount of substance when it melts.
4.
:: The L's in part 3, stand for latent heat of fusion / vapourisation.
5.
In fact, because of the release of latent heat of fusion, magmas that crystallise by decompression can actually get hotter in the process.
6.
Then the latent heat of fusion of water is 333.55 kJ / kg, so you'll need that many more kilojoules to get a liquid.
7.
Water has a much higher latent heat of fusion than most substances, and a melting temperature which is convenient and easily attained with, for example, a household freezer.
8.
Modern theory have proposed a variety of mechanisms for cooling other than blackbody radiation, including nuclear decay heating and latent heat of fusion from liquid-to-solid crystallization.
9.
There are distinct differences between crystalline solids and amorphous solids : most notably, the process of forming a glass does not release the latent heat of fusion, but forming a crystal does.
10.
They also made a study of the latent heat of fusion of ice, and a careful investigation of the range of applicability of the Dulong-Petit law representing the law of cooling.
