| Preferred Name | Radiative flux |
| Definitions |
Radiative flux is the amount of power radiated through a given area in the form of photons or other elementary particles, typically measured in W/m2. Radiative flux also acts as a generalization of heat flux, which is equal to the radiative flux when restricted to the infrared spectrum. When radiative flux is incident on a surface, it is often called irradiance. Flux emitted from a surface may be called radiant exitance or radiant emittance.

| description | All processes in engineering involve the transfer of energy. Some examples are the heating and cooling of process streams, phase changes, distillations, etc. The basic principle is the first law of thermodynamics. The net flux of energy through a system equals the conductivity times the rate of change of temperature with respect to position.
