Höyrystymislämmöksi
Höyrystymislämmöksi refers to the heat of vaporization, a fundamental thermodynamic property of matter. It is the amount of energy required to convert a substance from a liquid state to a gaseous state at a constant temperature and pressure. This energy input is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together. Conversely, when a gas condenses back into a liquid, it releases the same amount of energy, known as the heat of condensation.
The magnitude of the heat of vaporization varies significantly between different substances and is dependent on
In practical applications, the heat of vaporization is utilized in various technologies. Refrigeration systems, for example,
