Why Sensible Heat ?

Sensible Heat, as well as being our company name, has a scientific meaning, too.

Here are some definitions;

• Sensible Heat is defined as the heat energy stored in a substance as a result of an increase in its temperature.

• Same as enthalpy; the heat absorbed or transmitted by a substance during a change of temperature which is not accompanied by a change of state.

• Heat that is added to, or subtracted from, a substance that changes its temperature but not its physical state is called SENSIBLE HEAT. It is the heat that can be indicated on a thermometer. This is the heat human senses also can react to, at least within certain ranges. For example, if a person put their finger into a cup of water, the senses readily tell that person whether it is cold, cool, tepid, hot, or very hot. Sensible heat is applied to a solid, a liquid, or a gas/vapor as indicated on a thermometer. The term sensible heat does not apply to the process of conversion from one physical state to another.

• Heat that can be measured by a thermometer and thus sensed by humans

• Heat that results in a temperature change.
