| Definitions |
the rate of transfer of a substance or energy across a given surface In transport phenomena (heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid dynamics), flux is defined as the rate of flow of a property per unit area, which has the dimensions [quantity]·[time]−1·[area]−1.[Bird et al, 1960] The area is of the surface the property is flowing "through" or "across". For example, the magnitude of a river's current, i.e. the amount of water that flows through a cross-section of the river each second, or the amount of sunlight that lands on a patch of ground each second, are kinds of flux. |

| description |
The study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, and momentum between observed and studied systems. Fundamental analyses in all three subfields are often grounded in the simple principle that the sum total of the quantities being studied must be conserved by the system and its environment. |
