  2. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    The unit "var" is allowed by the International System of Units (SI) even though the unit var is representative of a form of power. [8] Per EU directive 80/181/EEC (the "metric directive"), the correct symbol is lower-case "var", [1] although the spellings "Var" and "VAr" are commonly seen, and "VAR" is widely used throughout the power industry.

  5. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    In physics and chemistry, it is common to measure energy on the atomic scale in the non-SI, but convenient, units electronvolts (eV). 1 eV is equivalent to the kinetic energy acquired by an electron in passing through a potential difference of 1 volt in a vacuum. It is common to use the SI magnitude prefixes (e.g. milli-, mega- etc) with ...

  6. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The dimension of power is energy divided by time. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other common and traditional measures are horsepower (hp), comparing to the power of a horse; one mechanical horsepower equals about 745.7 watts.

  7. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    The molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit amount (SI unit: mole) of a pure substance, and the specific heat capacity, often called simply specific heat, is the heat capacity per unit mass of a material. Heat capacity is a physical property of a substance, which means that it depends on the state and properties of the substance under ...

  8. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    The SI unit for heat capacity of an object is joule per kelvin (J/K or J⋅K −1). Since an increment of temperature of one degree Celsius is the same as an increment of one kelvin, that is the same unit as J/°C. The heat capacity of an object is an amount of energy divided by a temperature change, which has the dimension L 2 ⋅M⋅T −2 ...

    The macroscopic energy equation for infinitesimal volume used in heat transfer analysis is [6] = +, ˙, where q is heat flux vector, −ρc p (∂T/∂t) is temporal change of internal energy (ρ is density, c p is specific heat capacity at constant pressure, T is temperature and t is time), and ˙ is the energy conversion to and from thermal ...
