A 375 ml bottle of liquor in the US and the Canadian maritime provinces is sometimes referred to as a pint and a 200 ml bottle is called a half-pint, harking back to the days when liquor came in US pints, fifths, quarts, and half-gallons.
Flux or Water Flux-Flux or water flux is typically expressed as volume per area per unit of time. Flux is used to express the rate at which water permeates a reverse osmosis membrane. Typical units of measurement are gallons per square foot per day (i.e. GFD or GSFD) or litres per square meter per hour (l/m2/hr). The flux of a RO membrane is directly proportional to temperature and pressure.
Heat flux and radiative flux are specific cases of energy flux that involve the rate of transfer of heat and radiation (photons) respectively. Energy flux is a function of time as well as area, and has units of J/m 2 /s or W/m 2. It is sometimes also referred to as flux density. In more technical terms, flux density is defined as the energy travelling over an area perpendicular to the flow of energy divided by time and by area. Four types of energy fluxes for ideal (flat and smooth) surfaces have been identified so far.
