  2. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    Exergy is a combination property [6] of a system and its environment because it depends on the state of both and is a consequence of dis-equilibrium between them. Exergy is neither a thermodynamic property of matter nor a thermodynamic potential of a system. Exergy and energy always have the same units, and the joule (symbol: J) is the unit of ...

  3. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    A unit of electrical energy, particularly for utility bills, is the kilowatt-hour (kWh); [3] one kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 megajoules. Electricity usage is often given in units of kilowatt-hours per year or other periods. [4] This is a measurement of average power consumption, meaning the average rate at which energy is transferred ...

  4. Negentropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negentropy

    There is a physical quantity closely linked to free energy (free enthalpy), with a unit of entropy and isomorphic to negentropy known in statistics and information theory. In 1873, Willard Gibbs created a diagram illustrating the concept of free energy corresponding to free enthalpy .

    Roman numerals: for example the word "six" in the clue might be used to indicate the letters VI; The name of a chemical element may be used to signify its symbol; e.g., W for tungsten; The days of the week; e.g., TH for Thursday; Country codes; e.g., "Switzerland" can indicate the letters CH; ICAO spelling alphabet: where Mike signifies M and ...

  6. Thermodynamic free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_free_energy

    Therefore, only relative free energy values, or changes in free energy, are physically meaningful. The free energy is the portion of any first-law energy that is available to perform thermodynamic work at constant temperature, i.e., work mediated by thermal energy. Free energy is subject to irreversible loss in the course of such work. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Exergy

    Therefore, exergy measures the actual potential of a system to do work. The exergy consumed to create something, a product or service, is more than the work done to create it. Exergy is the work that can no longer be done elsewhere because the economic good was made. Exergy has been described as a measure of energy quality because of these traits.

    The researchers found that the prevalence of adult obesity in the U.S. decreased from 46% in 2022 to 45.6% in 2023.

  9. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    The SI unit for specific energy is the joule per kilogram (J/kg). Other units still in use worldwide in some contexts are the kilocalorie per gram (Cal/g or kcal/g), mostly in food-related topics, and watt-hours per kilogram (W⋅h/kg) in the field of batteries.
