Work is measured in Joules (or the equivalent for other systems) it is NEVER POWER. You are a fool.

Regarding your comment Heat is energy, work is not. Until you know the difference I suggest you refrain from posting and avoid embarrassment. Try and comprehend this numbskull: In thermodynamics, work is the quantity of energy transferred from one system to another without an accompanying transfer of entropy. It is a generalization of the concept of mechanical work in mechanics. In the SI system of measurement, work is measured in joules (symbol: J). The rate at which work is performed is power. From here: en.wikipedia.org So, I'll repeat: Work is Energy and it is measured in the units of Energy (Joules) Power is Work/unit time and is measured in units of Power which is Watts or the equivalent. So could you stop making stupid comments? Many years ago. Obviously so long ago that dementia has now set in.
