🔍 Key Concepts

• latent heat vs sensible heat – what each term really means in a phase change • what happens to refrigerant vapor when it condenses in a condenser • how cooling water temperature changes when it absorbs heat but does not change phase

💭 Think About

• When a vapor turns into liquid at essentially constant temperature, is the heat removed mostly latent or sensible? • When liquid water is used as a cooling medium and stays liquid, what kind of heat does it mainly absorb? • In a condenser, which side is undergoing a phase change, and which side is only changing temperature?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: latent heat = heat involved in phase change at (about) constant temperature. • Be clear on the definition: sensible heat = heat that causes a temperature change without a phase change. • Confirm which fluid is changing phase (vapor to liquid) and which fluid is only changing temperature as it flows through.
