Water - Heat of Vaporization vs. Temperature
The (latent) heat of vaporization (∆H vap ) also known as the enthalpy of vaporization or evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance, to transform a given quantity of the substance into a gas .
The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place. The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at a certain point called the critical temperature (Critical temperature for water: 373.946 °C or 705.103 °F, Critical pressure: 220.6 bar = 22.06 MPa = 3200 psi ).
