Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.
The mold constant B depends on the properties of the metal, such as density, heat capacity, heat of fusion and superheat, and the mold, such as initial temperature, density, thermal conductivity, heat capacity and wall thickness.
Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, Trouton's rule states that the (molar) entropy of vaporization is almost the same value, about 85–88 J/(K·mol), for various kinds of liquids at their boiling points. [1]
Latent heat is energy released or absorbed by a body or a thermodynamic system during a constant-temperature process. Two common forms of latent heat are latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization . These names describe the direction of energy flow when changing from one phase to the next: from solid to liquid, and liquid to gas.

If the latent heat is known, then knowledge of one point on the coexistence curve, for instance (1 bar, 373 K) for water, determines the rest of the curve. Conversely, the relationship between ln P {\displaystyle \ln P} and 1 / T {\displaystyle 1/T} is linear, and so linear regression is used to estimate the latent heat.
High latent heat of fusion per unit volume; High specific heat, high density, and high thermal conductivity; Small volume changes on phase transformation and small vapor pressure at operating temperatures to reduce the containment problem; Congruent melting; Kinetic properties High nucleation rate to avoid supercooling of the liquid phase
The amount of energy required for a phase change is known as latent heat. The "cooling rate" is the slope of the cooling curve at any point. Alloys have a melting point range. It solidifies as shown in the figure above. First, the molten alloy reaches to liquidus temperature and then freezing range starts.
