The table shows some typical values: Substance Specific latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg ... The longer the horizontal line, the more energy has been used to cause the change of state.

As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid/gas, each material has two specific latent heats: Specific latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg ... or cooling curve line graph.

This heat can be transferred out of the ... occurs in grain boundaries of the metal used in fusion reactors. Atoms inside a metal line up in an orderly fashion, also known as grains.
