Latent heat and phase change
A physical process in which a conversion among the basic states or phases of matter, i.e., solid, liquid, and gas takes place under the effect of a certain temperature and pressure is referred to as a phase change. Generally, the phase change of a substa…

Boiling Point of Water
Everyday examples of boiling is, boiling milk, heating water. One would have observed that when we heat water it goes through various stages and at one point bubbles show in water, and water keeps splashing with bubbles bursting, we in layman terms say t…
Freezing Point of Water
In general, the freezing point of water is 0° Celsius, or 32° Fahrenheit. This is the temperature at which water will ordinarily change from its liquid state to its solid state (ice). However, there are certain conditions that can affect the freezing poi…

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

In the radiator, the water vapor condenses and the latent heat energy is absorbed by the radiator which in turn heats the room.

As the radiator absorbs the latent heat from the vapor,the radiator heats up. Therefore the surrounding air of the radiator gets heated up by convection and temperature rises, pulling the colder air towards the radiator which heats up and it forms a cycle, thus heating the entire room.

Conclusion:

The radiator absorbs the latent heat of the water vapor and heats up. The air in contact with the radiator gets heated up by convection.
