Latent heat is the heat required to change the phase. When the temperature remains constant during melting or boiling the added energy is employed in the phase change process.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy?</h3>

The average kinetic energy (KE) is defined as the one-half of the mass of each gas molecule times multiplied by the square of RMS velocity.

KE = \frac{1}{2}m (V_{rms})^{2}

where,

KE is the kinetic energy

m is the mass of each molecule

(V)rms is the RMS velocity

As we know since the temperature is increasing the average kinetic energy of the particle increases. So the added energy is utilized in the sensible heat due to which the temperature of the body increases resulting in the increase in average kinetic energy

But when the temperature remains constant during melting or boiling the added energy is converted into latent heat energy utilized to convert the phase of a substance.

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a
dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}

Here, P_{abs} is absolute pressure,P_{atm} is atmospheric pressure and P_{vac} is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}.

Thus,

P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa.

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2.

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi.

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi

In  mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg

The gage pressure,

P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg

sesenic [268]
The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, you should include a circuit breaker so you don't have to replace it every time.
