2. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   The radiant temperature asymmetry is defined as the difference between the plane radiant temperature of the two opposite sides of a small plane element. As regards occupants within a building, thermal radiation field around the body may be non-uniform due to hot and cold surfaces and direct sunlight, bringing therefore local discomfort. The ...

3. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

   The rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings. However, by definition, the validity of Newton's law of cooling requires that the rate of heat loss from convection be a linear function of ("proportional to") the temperature difference that drives heat transfer, and in ...

4. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

   Convection-cooling is sometimes loosely assumed to be described by Newton's law of cooling. [6] Newton's law states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings while under the effects of a breeze. The constant of proportionality is the heat transfer coefficient. [7]

5. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

   For dense fluids that the interactions between the particles (the van der Waals interaction) should be included, and c v,f and c p,f would change accordingly. The net motion of particles (under gravity or external pressure) gives rise to the convection heat flux q u = ρ f c p,f u f T.

6. Heat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

   Maxwell writes that convection as such "is not a purely thermal phenomenon". [55] In thermodynamics, convection in general is regarded as transport of internal energy. If, however, the convection is enclosed and circulatory, then it may be regarded as an intermediary that transfers energy as heat between source and destination bodies, because ...

7. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

   Convection cooling is sometimes said to be governed by "Newton's law of cooling." When the heat transfer coefficient is independent, or relatively independent, of the temperature difference between object and environment, Newton's law is followed. The law holds well for forced air and pumped liquid cooling, where the fluid velocity does not ...
