Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_coolingNewton's law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its environment. The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small and the nature of heat transfer mechanism remains the same. As such, it is equivalent to a statement that the heat transfer coefficient, which mediates between heat losses and temperature differences, is a cons…
