Latent Heat of Fusion in Phase Diagrams and Phase Transformations Formulas

Latent heat of fusion or enthalpy of solidification is the heat liberated during solidification. Enter the magnitude only. It is taken negative by default. And is denoted by ΔH_f. Latent Heat of Fusion is usually measured using the Joule per Cubic Meter for Heat of Combustion (per Volume). Note that the value of Latent Heat of Fusion is always positive.
