Consistency
This article is not consistent with other related wiki articles, such as the article on flux and the article on the heat equation. --MuTau (talk) 01:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

The definition in the first sentence says "flow of energy per unit of area per unit of time" but the same article shows the SI units as W/m2 (not W/m2/s). The SI unit is correct. The wording is wrong. Heat flux is time independent. Please change to "flow of energy per unit of area". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.205.57 (talk) 21:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Flow of energy per unit of time per unit area is correct. Please note that the SI unit for energy is the Joule, not the Watt, which is the unit for power.  Watts are Joules per second.  W/m² = J/s-m², hence heat flux is flow of energy per unit area per unit time. 2600:1700:DDA0:5500:3D0E:1234:6AEB:C2CE (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Also aka radiant exitance?
Would Heat Flux also be known as radiant exitance? If so, should that be added as an aka for Heat Flux (and cross-linked to the Radiant Exitance page, and the Radiant Exitance page cross-linked here)? 76.30.103.137 (talk) 20:07, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
