latent heat-The heat released or absorbed per unit mass by a system in a reversible, isobaric-isothermal change of phase. In meteorology, the latent heats of vaporization(or condensation), fusion, and sublimation of water substance are of importance. 2, record 2, English, - heat%20of%20condensation

Commonly, in physics, the term "condensation" is synonymous with "liquefaction" (usually "condensation" refers to a gas being converted to a liquid). It should be remembered that "sublimation" is also a special case of condensation. 1, record 2, English, - heat%20of%20condensation

Il est très important de se rappeler que le prélèvement d'énergie calorifique nécessaire à l'évaporation se traduit par un refroidissement, alors que le mécanisme inverse, la condensation (passage de l'état gazeux à l'état liquide) provoque une libération d'énergie qui s'accompagne donc d'une élévation de température (chaleur latente de condensation). 1, record 2, French, - chaleur%20latente%20de%20condensation

Même si dans la vaporisation d'une substance la quantité de calories ajoutée à la conversion, soit 597,3 par gramme, est égale à la quantité de calories enlevée au moment de la condensation, il faut prendre garde de considérer ces deux notions comme équivalentes. 3, record 2, French, - chaleur%20latente%20de%20condensation

Dye sublimation Printing. When a subliminal [or rather "subliming"] dye is heated, it changes from a solid state into a gas via a process called sublimation. The gaseous dye diffuses in the chemical coating on the paper and reverts to a solid. 1, record 3, English, - dye%2Dsublimation%20printing
