Thermal Energy Release Rate

Thermal Energy Release Rate refers to how quickly heat energy is released or emitted from a source, such as a material burning or a chemical reaction. It measures the amount of heat produced per unit of time, usually expressed in units like watts (joules per second). Understanding this rate helps determine how intense or rapid the heating process is, which is important for safety, efficiency, and design in industries like combustion, fire safety, and energy production. Essentially, it tells us how fast energy is being released as heat during a process.
