pera-ture of 32°, it will, by simply melting, without hav-ing its own,temperature raised at all, reduce thetemperature of the water 1°. By the change in itsstate, from the solid to the fluid form, water absorbs140° of heat; which heat is not perceptible to thefeeling, or to the thermometer ; it is… … The second property of matter by which water iscooled is also latent heat, but in a different form—the caloric of evaporation. Water, in changingfrom the solid to the liquid state, absorbs 140° ofheat; but in changing from the liquid to the gaseousstate, it absorbsabout 1,000° of heat.…
