  2. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Potential energy with respect to gravity, close to Earth, per unit mass: gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (standardized as ≈9.8 m/s 2) and h is the height above the reference level (giving J/kg when g is in m/s 2 and h is in m).

  3. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

  4. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    The specific heat capacities of iron, granite, and hydrogen gas are about 449 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, 790 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, and 14300 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1, respectively. [4] While the substance is undergoing a phase transition , such as melting or boiling, its specific heat capacity is technically undefined, because the heat goes into ...

  5. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    Professionals in construction, civil engineering, chemical engineering, and other technical disciplines, especially in the United States, may use the so-called English Engineering units, that include the pound (lb = 0.45359237 kg) as the unit of mass, the degree Fahrenheit or Rankine (⁠ 5 / 9 ⁠ K, about 0.55556 K) as the unit of temperature ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    0.0248 * (1000 g/L * (mol/18.0153g)) is the molar fraction of substance in saturated solution with a unit of mol/L; 0.0248 * (1000 g/L * (mol/18.0153g)) * 151.17g/mol is the solute's molar fraction equivalent mass conversion; 1-0.0248 will be the fraction of the solution that is solvent. which is a deviation from the real solubility (240 g/L ...

  7. Food energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy

    These estimates are for a "reference woman" who is 1.63 m (5 ft 4 in) tall and weighs 57 kg (126 lb) and a "reference man" who is 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) tall and weighs 70 kg (154 lb). [19] Because caloric requirements vary by height, activity, age, pregnancy status, and other factors, the USDA created the DRI Calculator for Healthcare ...

  8. Sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    Fusing four free protons (hydrogen nuclei) into a single alpha particle (helium nucleus) releases around 0.7% of the fused mass as energy, [68] so the Sun releases energy at the mass–energy conversion rate of 4.26 billion kg/s (which requires 600 billion kg of hydrogen [69]), for 384.6 yottawatts (3.846 × 10 26 W), [5] or 9.192 × 10 10 ...

  9. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    Heat capacity is a measurable physical quantity equal to the ratio of the heat added to an object to the resulting temperature change. [76] The molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit amount (SI unit: mole ) of a pure substance, and the specific heat capacity , often called simply specific heat , is the heat capacity per unit mass of ...
