Heat Input in Thermodynamics Formulas

Heat input is the energy transferred to a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter. And is denoted by Q_in. Heat Input is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram for Heat of Combustion (per Mass). Note that the value of Heat Input is always negative.
