  2. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    () = where u denotes the internal energy per unit mass of the transferred matter, as measured while in the surroundings; and ΔM denotes the amount of transferred mass. The flow of heat is a form of energy transfer. Heat transfer is the natural process of moving energy to or from a system, other than by work or the transfer of matter.

  4. Energy flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_flux

    Energy flux is the rate of transfer of energy through a surface. The quantity is defined in two different ways, depending on the context: Total rate of energy transfer (not per unit area); [1] SI units: W = J⋅s −1. Specific rate of energy transfer (total normalized per unit area); [2] SI units: W⋅m −2 = J⋅m −2 ⋅s −1:

  5. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Internal energy is a principal property of the thermodynamic state, while heat and work are modes of energy transfer by which a process may change this state. A change of internal energy of a system may be achieved by any combination of heat added or removed and work performed on or by the system.

  6. Radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer

    Radiative transfer (also called radiation transport) is the physical phenomenon of energy transfer in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The propagation of radiation through a medium is affected by absorption, emission, and scattering processes. The equation of radiative transfer describes these interactions mathematically. Equations of ...

  7. Transfer of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_energy

    Transfer of energy may refer to: Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. Heat transfer, the exchange of thermal energy via conduction, convection and radiation; Collision, an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other over a relatively short time

  8. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Fire is an example of energy transformation Energy transformation using Energy Systems Language. Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat.

  9. Energy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_current

    "Energy current" is a somewhat informal term that is used, on occasion, to describe the process of energy transfer in situations where the transfer can usefully be viewed in terms of a flow. It is particularly used when the transfer of energy is more significant to the discussion than the process by which the energy is transferred.
