As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid/gas, each material has two specific latent heats: Specific latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg) 22.4 Specific latent heat of vaporisation (kJ/kg ...

so the latent heat of vaporisation for a substance is usually greater than its latent heat of fusion. The table shows some typical values: Substance Specific latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg ...

The Chinese EAST reactor maintained a temperature of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes, setting a new record.

This work enables fusion energy scientists to better control tokamak devices. The results of this study show a new path for handling this extreme heat, bringing researchers one step closer to a ...
