"What are specific heat, latent heat and sensible heat?"

Answer Posted / ibrahim_mahmoud

when some body get sweaty , he rejects latent heat while his
body temp not changed
water boils at 100 degrees and boiling is going on till all
water turned to water vapor and the temp still 100 degrees
then latent heat was released to the atmosphere
latent heat to turn water (liquid state) to water vapor (
gaseous state) by attention that temperature did not change
,100 degrees
sensible heat is when we for example heat this vapor above
100 degrees in a closed vessel till 4 example 160 degrees
the temp of vapor is increased now above boiling point of water
this is sensible heating , we can sense it
