A well-Known fact that the substance can be in one of the States-gaseous, liquid, solid. And can move from one to another. The simplest example – a piece of ice melts into liquid and then to vapor. In all this process of converting solid substances into vapor very interesting stage of melting and one of its parameters-the specific heat of fusion.
Our experience says that any substance can be melted. This is also evidenced by the entire history of civilization. The opening of the melting substance was one of the greatest inventions in human development. But melting is not a simple process. It appears a lot of questions, and one of them is how much you need of coal (peat, firewood, gas) to melt a piece of iron or copper. And here again we have to refer to the concept of "specific melting heat".
If you recall, is melting, we can distinguish several stages. Take the example of lead. The first stage is the heating of the lead, the temperature rises to 327 degrees centigrade (the melting point). Once melting began, a long time nothing happens.
The temperature of the lead, despite the input of heat remains constant and keeps like this until the end of the whole process. And only then with continued heating the temperature begins again to rise. From the observed pattern followed by some conclusions. A solid all the molecules are in a specific order and are rigidly connected with the neighboring molecules.

In order to enable them to move freely to another place, connection with neighbouring molecules it is necessary to break that occurs in the melting process. For this body it is necessary to transfer a certain rate of heat called heat of fusion. For each of the substances require different amount of heat. The reason due to this property of the substance, as the specific heat of melting, which is defined as the amount of heat required to melt one kilogram of a substance. The unit of measure is Joule/kilogram.
As already mentioned, for each material the value of its own. The specific heat of fusion of lead is different from the same quantity of ice. And here arises a very interesting point. The specific heat of fusion of steel is an average of 85 kJ/kg, and water (ice) the same parameter is an average of 335 kJ/kg of ice with a high value of this parameter can be considered a great gift from nature.
After all, thanks to all the snow, the ice does not melt instantly, and everything is happening for a long time. Otherwise, the snow would melt very quickly, and floods would have been more abundant and destructive. In addition, these unique properties of water contribute to the stabilization of the climate on the planet.
There are tables with data about specific energy, heat of melting of certain materials. Knowing this value, it is calculated how much heat is needed to melt the material, and to determine how much fuel to conduct heat. If the body is heated to the melting temperature, heat is needed only for melting, but if the temperature is below the melting temperature, the heat required for heating the substance to the melting temperature.
Such calculations are extremely useful in industry to calculate the cost of production.
By the Way, during cooling the molten substance is the reverse of the melting process – crystallization. In this case, during cooling of the substance restores the broken bonds between molecules and generates heat.
Considering the process of fusion of the substance passing at the same phenomenon, it was determined such a thing as the specific heat of fusion. A comparison of this indicator to different substances, determined by how high the value of this parameter ice has a beneficial effect on the planet's climate.
