What is the latent heat of milk?

The latent heat of milk is the energy required for phase changes to occur at constant temperature. The specific latent heat of milk for various phase changes are as follows:

- Latent Heat of Fusion (Melting): 284 kJ/kg

This value represents the energy required to completely melt frozen milk into liquid milk at the melting point (around -0.53 °C).

- Latent Heat of Vaporization (Boiling): 2257 kJ/kg

This value represents the energy required to completely vaporize liquid milk into steam at the boiling point (around 100.2 °C at sea level).

It's important to note that these values may vary slightly based on factors such as composition and temperature, but they provide a general reference point.
