Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-005146

The rate of heat energy transfer per unit area, typically measured in watts per square meter (W m^-2). It describes the flow of thermal energy across a surface or through a material. Heat flux is a vector quantity, indicating both the magnitude and direction of heat flow.
