Thank you Judy for your kind explanation

As I am simulating water flow boiling through microchannel at inlet temperature of 372.15K and Saturation temperature is 373.15K using Lee phase change model,

I was wondering why enthalpy of formation is needed in boiling ( conversion of liquid phase to vapor phase)? There is no chemical reaction taking place.
