Enthalpy of Fusion The enthalpy (heat) of fusion AiTfus is defined as the difference of the enthalpies of a unit mole or mass of a solid and hquid at its melting temperature and one atmosphere pressure of a pure component. There are no generally apphcable estimation techniques that are very accurate. However, if the melting temperature is known, the atomic group contribution method of Chickos et al. " yields approximate results ... 

Energy must also be provided to melt a solid substance. This energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces that hold molecules or ions in fixed positions in the solid phase. Thus, the melting of a solid also has characteristic energy and enthalpy changes. The heat needed to melt one mole of a substance at its normal melting point is called the molar heat of fusion, Ai/fas...

One would expect the enthalpy of sublimation (d) to be the largest of the four quantities cited. Molar heat capacities are quite small, on the order of fractions of a kilojoule per mole-degree. (Remember that specific heats have values of joules per gram-degree.) All of the heats of transition (or latent heats) are positive numbers and on the order of kilojoules per mole. Since the heat of sublimation is the sum of the heat of fusion and the heat of vaporization, AHsubl must be the largest of the three. 

Nagaoka s equation (Nagaoka et al, 1955) is an extension of Plank s model and takes into account the time required to reduce the temperature from an initial temperature T, above the freezing poinf. The lafenf heat of fusion in equafion 3.3 is replaced by the total enthalpy change A/i which includes the sensible heat which must be removed in reducing the temperature from an initial T and in addition an empirical correction factor is included. Thus...

The data required for computing various heat effects involving explosives and explosions are standard heats (also called enthalpies) of formation, heats of detonation (or explosion), heats of fusion, vaporization and/or sublimation, heat conductivity, and specific heat. 

The area of a DSC peak can be used to estimate the enthalpy of transition, AH, provided the thermal history of the sample is considered [29]. Calibration with respect to enthalpy requires an area that corresponds to a well-defined enthalpy change—a heat of fusion AH(Tm) is commonly used, especially that of indium [3].

Those heal effects can be easily calculated when the enthalpies of formation and the enthalpy-temperature relations are available for the substances considered. Usually, the heat of reaction is defined as the heat evolved by the process, and it is equal to the enthalpy change but opposite in sign, while heats of fusion or vaporization always refer to ihe heat adsorbed, and for heals of solution the usage varies. In order to avoid any confusion, it is recommended to express heat effects of chemical process by reporting the enthalpy change. AH. 

Figure 20 shows the phase diagram of polyethylene119). The existence range of the condis crystals increases with pressure and temperature. The enthalpy of the reasonably reversible, first order transition from the orthorhombic to the hexagonal condis phase of polyethylene is 3.71 kJ/mol at about 500 MPa pressure 121) which is about 80 % of the total heat of fusion. The entropy of disordering is 7.2 J/(K mol), which is more than the typical transition entropy of paraffins to their high temperature... 

Imagine what would happen if you started with a block of ice at a low temperature, say -10°C, and slowly increased its enthalpy by adding heat. The initial input of heat would cause the temperature of the ice to rise until it reached 0°C. Additional heat would then cause the ice to melt without raising its temperature as the added energy was expended in overcoming the forces that hold H20 molecules rigidly together in the ice crystal. The amount of heat necessary to melt a substance is called the enthalpy of fusion, or heat of fusion (AHfusjon), and has a value of 6.01 kj/mol for H20. 

Heat of Fusion. Extrapolation of enthalpy curves gives the heat of fusion as 23.53cal/g (Ref 28). Cady and Rogers (Ref 28) quote earlier literature data, which we summarize as follows ...
