 Energy density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Energy density is the amount of energy stored in a given system or region of space per unit volume or per unit mass, depending on the context.
In Physics, "Vacuum energy" or "zero-point energy" is the volumetric energy density of empty space.
Energy density is the amount of energy (kilojoules or calories) per milliliter of food.

 Energy Density
It was discovered that when given lower energy dense foods rather than lower fat foods, the subjects reduced their total energy intake even though they had quite a bit of leeway in regards to snacks.
The study concluded that reducing the energy density of the diet may contribute to a significant reduction in energy intake, thus facilitating weight loss.
Energy density but not fat content of foods affected energy intakes in lean and obese women.

The private auto, the jet aircraft, and the planing heavy vessel are the ultimate worst case for fuelling, because they require high energy density (high burn rate), which is the costliest thing to achieve in a fuel.
If we now try to produce this same energy density or burn rate using immediate biotic sources, we run into a little problem -- a time travel problem as it were: a normal growing season doesn't deposit that much energy in a vegetable crop.

 Energy -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics
Energy is an abstract quantity of extreme usefulness in physics because it is defined in such a way that the total energy of any closed physical system is always constant (conservation of energy).
Energy is measured in units of mass times velocity squared, and the MKS and cgs units of energy are the Joule and erg, respectively.
In fact, the notion that heat is a form of energy was one of the most important developments in classical physics and thermodynamics.

 Electrostatic Energy and Force   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Electrostatic energy W of a point charge is the work done by the force on the charge q when it moves from position a to position b.
Electrostatic energy is path independent due to the principle of conservation of energy as shown in figure 1.1.
The electrostatic energy of the group of point charges, which are infinitely separated from each other, can be obtained by calculating the work to assemble the charges, bringing in one at a time.

Calculating Energy Density: To calculate the energy density of foods, divide the calories in one serving by its weight in grams.
Foods with an energy density of 1 to 2 -- such as beans, fish, fat-free, skinless chicken and rice -- are also good to eat.
You can lower its calorie or energy density not only by using less cheese and reduced-fat milk, but by bulking the casserole up with other foods such as vegetables, which are packed with water and fiber but not calories.

 vacuum
So, when you ask about the energy density of the vacuum, you get different answers depending on whether the person answering you is basing their answer on general relativity or quantum field theory.
However, the basic fact that the energy density of spacetime is very close to zero is almost unarguable: for it to be false, general relativity would have to be very wrong.
For a calculation that explains why the vacuum having positive energy density means it has enough negative pressure to make the expansion of the universe accelerate, see the cosmological constant section of my website about the meaning of Einstein's equation.

 Sound energy density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sound energy density or sound density (symbol E or w) is an adequate measure to describe the sound field at a given point as a sound energy value.
In opposite to the sound intensity I, which gives the sound energy per area A, the sound energy density E (also: sound density) describes the time medium value of the sound energy per volume unit; it gives information about the sound energy which is at a defined place in the room.
In speaking of average energy density, it is necessary to distinguish between the space average (at a given instant) and the time average (at a given point).

 Gravity Theory -- Introducing Energy-Density Component
Currently, many hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent, and hundreds of millions are now being sought, by an international university and investigative consortium in order to continue their research into gravity waves and to unravel the mysteries of gravity.
First, two bodies of some energy density to interact with each other, and second, connecting diallel lines which provide not only particle flow between the bodies, but also the flow of photon and gravitational information as well.
In summary then, the conditions needed for the gravitational field are two objects with some energy density (not just mass) and with diallel lines running between these two energy-density objects, which diallel lines are conducting particles, i.e.

 Vacuum energy density and Hubble expansion
The possibility that the negative energy of gravity could balance the positive energy for the matter of the Universe was suggested as early as 1932 by Richard Tolman, although a viable mechanism for the energy transfer was not known.
This borrowing of energy from the gravitational field gives the inflationary paradigm an entirely different perspective from the classical Big Bang theory, in which all the particles in the Universe (or at least their precursors) were assumed to be in place from the start.
B. The compensation is not done by the gravitational potential of the masses in the universe, but may be the vacuum energy itself produces a gravitational potential which compensates its energy density (may be this is senseless).

 Food Energy Density Plays A Role In Feeling Full
Previously, researchers believed that fat played a role in feelings of satiety or fullness, but the new study suggests that low food "energy density" is actually the key, according to a team of nutritionists at Pennsylvania State University in University Park.
Low-energy density meals tend to have fewer calories per ounce and contain more fruits, vegetables and grains than high-energy density meals, researchers explained in the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
When women consumed the low-fat, low-energy density meals, they tended to eat less of the side dishes because they felt full and satisfied after the meal, the investigators report.
