Summary Introduction

To review:

The way through which conduction and convection work together, to transfer heat.

Introduction:

Heat moves from an area having a higher temperature to that with a lower temperature. A large amount of heat generated by the metabolic reactions of the body is exchanged through the skin by four mechanisms, namely, conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. Radiation accounts for most of the heat exchange between the body and the surrounding.
