  3. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The joule (pronounced / ˈdʒuːl /, JOOL or / ˈdʒaʊl / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a mass through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force. It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an ...

  4. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

    Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

  5. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    Solar irradiance is the power per unit area (surface power density) received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument. Solar irradiance is measured in watts per square metre (W/m 2) in SI units.

  6. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    The energy efficiency in transport is the useful travelled distance, of passengers, goods or any type of load; divided by the total energy put into the transport propulsion means. The energy input might be rendered in several different types depending on the type of propulsion, and normally such energy is presented in liquid fuels, electrical ...

    A power of 1 horsepower applied for 1 second [59] 7.8×10 2 J: Kinetic energy of 7.26 kg [91] standard men's shot thrown at 14.7 m/s [citation needed] by the world record holder Randy Barnes [92] 8.01×10 2 J Amount of work needed to lift a man with an average weight (81.7 kg) one meter above Earth (or any planet with Earth gravity) 10 3: kilo ...

  8. Power density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_density

    Power density, defined as the amount of power (the time rate of energy transfer) per unit volume, is a critical parameter used across a spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines. This metric, typically denoted in watts per cubic meter (W/m 3), serves as a fundamental measure for evaluating the efficacy and capability of various devices ...

  9. Radiant energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_energy_density

    W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1. M ⋅ T−2. Radiant exitance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅m −2 ⋅nm −1. "Spectral emittance" is an old term for this quantity. This is sometimes also confusingly called "spectral intensity". Me,λ[nb 4] watt per square metre, per metre. W/m 3.
