Question

If SH, LH represents Sensible Heat and Latent Heat respectively, then identify the CORRECT relation for Sensible Heat Factor (SHF) from the given options.

• A. \( SHF = \frac{SH}{SH + LH} \)
• B. \( SHF = \frac{SH}{LH - SH} \)
• C. \( SHF = \frac{SH}{SH + LH} \)
• D. \( SHF = \frac{LH}{SH + LH} \)

Hint:

Sensible Heat Factor helps in understanding how much of the total heat is used to change the temperature (sensible heat) versus changing the phase (latent heat).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Sensible Heat Factor (SHF) is defined as the ratio of sensible heat to the total heat (sensible + latent heat). Therefore, the correct equation is \( SHF = \frac{SH}{SH + LH} \).
