Steady-State Heat Balance: (ii) Animals
TL;DR: In this paper, each term of the animal heat balance equation is reviewed and a diagram-based approach is applied to analyze the relationship between metabolic heat production and environmental temperature, including activities involving sweating.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 9 – Momentum Transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the first several chapters concerned with the principles by which energy absorbed when plants and animals are exposed to radiative fluxes is transferred to the atmosphere by convection and by the evaporation of water (latent heat transfer).
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 10 – Heat Transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the Nusselt number Nu provides the basis for comparing rates of convective heat transfer from similar-shaped bodies of different scales, and thermal resistances to heat transfer through peripheral tissue and animal coats are reviewed.
