Sensible Heat: Q=mCp ΔT.

where, m=mass flow rate
Cp=Heat capacity at constant pressure
ΔT = Temperature Const.

Good explanation @Nain.

Latent/Sensible Heat extended definition. Latent and sensible heat are types of energy released or absorbed in the atmosphere. Latent heat is related to changes in phase between liquids, gases, and solids. Sensible heat is related to changes in temperature of a gas or object with no change in phase.

Thanks for providing the useful informtion.

@Sai.

Sensible heat means the change in temperature without change in phases.

Sensible heat means?

Sai said:   9 years ago
What is meant by humidification?

Sagar said:   9 years ago
Sensible heat from the liquid is removed and latent heat is added to gas.

Sagar said:   9 years ago
You are right & I agree with you @Nain.

Nain said:   9 years ago
If we are unaware of the actual process (i.e) humidification and cooling, it is clear from the term "evaporative cooling" that the process must involve addiction of latent heat for evaporation and removal of sensible heat that is cooling.
