  2. 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

  3. Orders of magnitude (energy) - Wikipedia

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

    Bond dissociation energy for the carbon monoxide (CO) triple bond, alternatively stated: 1072 kJ/mol; 11.11eV per molecule. [21] This is the strongest chemical bond known. 2.18×10 −18 J: Ground state ionization energy of hydrogen (13.6 eV) 10 −17 2–2000×10 −17 J Energy range of X-ray photons [8] 10 −16 10 −15: femto-(fJ) 3 × 10 ...

  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.

    Quantity (common name/s) (Common) symbol/s Defining equation SI unit Dimension General heat/thermal capacity C = / J⋅K −1: ML 2 T −2 Θ −1: Heat capacity (isobaric)

  6. Kilowatt-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt-hour

    The kilowatt-hour is a composite unit of energy equal to one kilowatt (kW) sustained for (multiplied by) one hour. The International System of Units (SI) unit of energy meanwhile is the joule (symbol J). Because a watt is by definition one joule per second, and because there are 3,600 seconds in an hour, one kWh equals 3,600 kilojoules or 3.6 ...

  7. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    In oceanography, the sverdrup (symbol: Sv, not to be confused with the sievert) is a non-SI metric unit of flow, with 1 Sv equal to 1 million cubic metres per second (260,000,000 US gal/s); [1] [2] it is equivalent to the SI derived unit cubic hectometer per second (symbol: hm 3 /s or hm 3 ⋅s −1).

  8. Joule per mole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_per_mole

    It is also an SI derived unit of molar thermodynamic energy defined as the energy equal to one joule in one mole of substance. [1] [2] For example, the Gibbs free energy of a compound in the area of thermochemistry is often quantified in units of kilojoules per mole (symbol: kJ·mol −1 or kJ/mol), with 1 kilojoule = 1000 joules. [3]

  9. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    In general, proteins have lower energy densities (≈16 kJ/g) than carbohydrates (≈17 kJ/g), whereas fats provide much higher energy densities (≈38 kJ/g), [8] 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 times as much energy. Fats contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds than carbohydrates or proteins, yielding higher energy density. [ 9 ]
