[The Heating Value of the Fuels]

The enthalpy of vaporization, (symbol Hvap) also known as the (latent) heat of
vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the enthalpy change required to transform a given
quantity of a substance from a liquid into a gas at a given pressure (often atmospheric
pressure, as in STP).
