Maybe this helps you:
http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/content/our-calculations
It refers to a "W/m2K" which goes alongside a sentence and further formulas
in the Dagego sample
>Interessant ist auch die Frage, um wie viel Kelvin die Temperatur in einer
Stunde in einem 1000L Speicher steigt, wenn man >nur 9,5 KW zur Verfügung
hat. Dafür ist es nötig, die Formel umzustellen nach:
Translated:
"How many K per hour does the temperature rise in a 1000 l boiler if you
have 9.5 KW to heat?"

Another simple calculation:
http://www.endmemo.com/physics/heatengine.php
based on Carnot's work, it  contains some "constant" 1, which as of now, we
could not deal with either.

Quantity.subtract(Quantity) exists, so as a workaround we do have
AbstractQuantity.ONE.subtract(someQuantity);
