Solid-state electronics. Solid-state electronics are those circuits or devices built entirely from solid materials and in which the electrons, or other charge carriers, are confined entirely within the solid material.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process that is specified in some way. An example is latent heat of fusion for a phase change, melting, at a specified temperature and pressure. The term was introduced around 1762 by Scottish chemist Joseph Black. It is derived from the Latin latere (to lie hidden).
The latent heat of condensation of water in the temperature range from â25 Â°C to 40 Â°C is approximated by the following empirical cubic function: is the amount of energy released or absorbed during the change of phase of the substance (in kJ or in BTU), m is the mass of the substance (in kg or in lb), and. L is the specific latent heat for a particular substance (kJ-kg m â1 or in BTU-lb m â1), either L f for fusion, or L v for vaporization.
