  • Latent heat is defined as the energy that is absorbed or released during a phase change of a substance.
• ​Latent heat of condensation:
  • The conversion of water vapour into the water which is caused by the loss of heat called Latent heat condensation.
  • Condensation depends upon the amount of cooling and the relative humidity of the air.
