What is the Latent Heat of Melting for Steel Carbon Steel St

Solution

Latent Heat of Melting

1 kJ/kg = 0.4299 Btu/lbm = 0.23884 kcal/kg

---------------------------------------------------------------

The heat required to melt a solid can be calculated as

q = L_{m *} m

where

q = required heat (J, Btu)

L_m = latent heat of melting (J/kg, Btu/lb)

m = mass of substance (kg, lb)

minimum 11.779 BTU/lb

maximum 122.527 BTU/lb

melting point

minimum of 2506.73F

maximum of 2551.73F
