La chaleur sensible est la chaleur émise ou absorbée par un milieu (par exemple un corps matériel) dont la température croît ou décroît en conséquence, mais sans que ce milieu éprouve un changement de phase; à l'échange de chaleur sensible s'oppose donc l'échange de chaleur latente, dans lequel la chaleur fournie ou reçue par une source de chaleur ou de froid s'associe non à une variation de température, mais à un changement d'état physique qui peut être respectivement, par exemple, la condensation ou l'évaporation de l'eau dans l'atmosphère. 3, record 2, French, - chaleur%20sensible
