    Quantity (common name/s) (Common) symbol/s Defining equation SI unit Dimension Temperature gradient: No standard symbol K⋅m −1: ΘL −1: Thermal conduction rate, thermal current, thermal/heat flux, thermal power transfer

  3. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    One square metre of the Earth receives about 1.4 kilojoules of solar radiation every second in full daylight. [20] A human in a sprint has approximately 3 kJ of kinetic energy, [21] while a cheetah in a 122 km/h (76 mph) sprint has approximately 20 kJ. [22] One watt-hour, of electricity or any other form of energy, is 3.6 kJ. megajoule

  4. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    (Note - the relation between pressure, volume, temperature, and particle number which is commonly called "the equation of state" is just one of many possible equations of state.) If we know all k+2 of the above equations of state, we may reconstitute the fundamental equation and recover all thermodynamic properties of the system.

    Average kinetic energy of translational motion of a molecule in the Boomerang Nebula, the coldest place known outside of a laboratory, at a temperature of 1 kelvin [6] [7] 10 −22 2–3000×10 −22 J Energy of infrared light photons [8] 10 −21: zepto-(zJ) 1.7×10 −21 J 1 kJ/mol, converted to energy per molecule [9] 2.1×10 −21 J

  6. Kilowatt-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt-hour

    For example: miles per hour, kilometres per hour, dollars per hour. Power units, such as kW, already measure the rate of energy per unit time (kW=kJ/s). Kilowatt-hours are a product of power and time, not a rate of change of power with time. Watts per hour (W/h) is a unit of a change of

  7. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    The calorie is defined as the amount of thermal energy necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 Celsius degree, from a temperature of 14.5 °C, at a pressure of 1 atm. For thermochemistry a calorie of 4.184 J is used, but other calories have also been defined, such as the International Steam Table calorie of 4.1868 J.

  8. kT (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KT_(energy)

    kT (also written as k B T) is the product of the Boltzmann constant, k (or k B), and the temperature, T.This product is used in physics as a scale factor for energy values in molecular-scale systems (sometimes it is used as a unit of energy), as the rates and frequencies of many processes and phenomena depend not on their energy alone, but on the ratio of that energy and kT, that is, on ⁠ E ...

  9. Equivalent temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_temperature

    Taking a volume of air at temperature T and mixing ratio of r, drying it by condensation will restore energy to the airmass. This will depend on the latent heat release as: + where: : latent heat of evaporation (2400 kJ/kg at 25°C to 2600 kJ/kg at −40°C)
