  2. Outline of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_energy

    Stress–energy tensor, the density and flux of energy and momentum in space-time; the source of the gravitational field in general relativity; Food energy, energy in food that is available; Primary energy, energy contained in raw fuels and any other forms of energy received by a system as input to the system.

  3. Sources and sinks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_and_sinks

    In thermodynamics, the source and sinks correspond to two types of thermal reservoirs, where energy is supplied or extracted, such as heat flux sources or heat sinks. In thermal conduction this is described by the heat equation. [10] The terms are also used in non-equilibrium thermodynamics by introducing the idea of sources and sinks of ...

  4. Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    So for example, the absorptivity at a certain incidence direction, for a certain frequency, of a certain polarization, is the same as the emissivity at the same direction, for the same frequency, of the same polarization. This is the principle of detailed balance. [7] [8]

  5. Intensity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics)

    In physics and many other areas of science and engineering the intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy. [a] In the SI system, it has units watts per square metre (W/m 2), or kg⋅s −3 in base units.

  6. Four-gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-gradient

    The 4-divergence of the stress–energy tensor as the conserved Noether current associated with spacetime translations, gives four conservation laws in SR: [4]: 101–106 The conservation of energy (temporal direction) and the conservation of linear momentum (3 separate spatial directions).

  7. Classical field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_field_theory

    The source equations (Gauss' law for electricity and the Maxwell-Ampère law) are =. while the other two (Gauss' law for magnetism and Faraday's law) are obtained from the fact that F is the 4-curl of A, or, in other words, from the fact that the Bianchi identity holds for the electromagnetic field tensor.

  8. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

    That is, when a system is described by stating its internal energy U, an extensive variable, as a function of its entropy S, volume V, and mol number N, i.e. U = U (S, V, N), then the temperature is equal to the partial derivative of the internal energy with respect to the entropy [61] (essentially equivalent to the first TdS equation for V and ...

  9. Moving heat source model for thin plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_heat_source_model...

    The problem is further simplified by taking advantage of the quasi-stationary state in welding, where temperature distribution from the perspective of a coordinate system that moves with the heat source is constant in time. [2] [3] The through thickness direction and direction perpendicular to the direction of travel are unchanged in the moving ...
