Energy Flux - Introductory Two-Player Set

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 ; SI units: W = J⋅s−1. Specific rate of energy transfer ; SI units: W⋅m−2 = J⋅m−2⋅s−1: This is a vector quantity, its components being determined in terms of the normal (perpendicular) direction to the surface of measurement. This is sometimes called energy flux density, to distinguish it from the first definition. Radiative flux, heat flux, and sound energy flux density are specific cases of this meaning.
