Question

application of latent heat of vaporization...​

Answer 1

The specific latent heat of vaporisation for water is large. ... Ice absorbs a large quantity of latent heat during the process of melting. Extinguishing fire by using boiling water. Water that is quickly boiled will become steam which is able to absorb a larger quantity of latent heat from the fire.

Answer 2

Here is your answer mate.....

They have to be taken into account in any heat transfer issue, for example if you are heating something with steam, the high latent heat means you can get a lot of heat delivered without excessive mass. Also, the temperature remains constant while delivering the heat. This is why you can heat something gently with steam in cooking without risking “burning”. Similarly, ice makes a good cooling bath. Most of the time, though, these are facts that have to be taken into consideration, e.g. when designing dehumidifiers.
