Latent Heat in Electric Heating Formulas

Latent Heat is defined as the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapour, or a liquid into a vapour, without change of temperature. And is denoted by L_heat. Latent Heat is usually measured using the Kilojoule for Energy. Note that the value of Latent Heat is always positive.
