Is superheated water a reservoir of energy collected in the form of latent heat ?
-
Energy cannot be destroyed by heating. So the input in the form of additional heat must be found in the water itself.

Answer:
No it cannot be latent heat, otherwise the water could not be superheated, by definition. Superheating means heating liquid water to a temperature higher than its boiling point. If the temperature rises upon adding heat, then that heat is specific heat, not latent heat. The reason superheating is possible is an entropic effect known as nucleation. Above the boiling point, thermodynamics wants water to be a vapor (energetically favorable), but this will not occur until a nucleation site presents itself (such as a dissolved particle or a bubble).

no not at all actually latent heat is the heat energy that is involved in changing the state of a substance. in this case the boiling point of water is increased by increasing its pressure.

Latent Heat, is a change of state( water turns to steam) Steam will produce your energy. So yes water produces the additional heat, or motion to produce Heat.
