Heat of Vaporization
Heat of vaporization, abbreviated as \(H_v\), is the amount of heat needed to be consumed to vaporize a specific amount of liquid at a constant temperature.

\(\large{ H_v }\) = heat of vaporization | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm}}\) | \(\large{\frac{J}{kg}}\) |
\(\large{ q }\) = heat | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm}}\) | \(\large{\frac{J}{kg}}\) |
\(\large{ m }\) = mass of substance | \(lbm\) | \(kg\) |
