How Do We Lose Body Heat Conduction, Convection, And Radiation
Want to know how you lose body heat?
Heat is transferred by three ways. Conduction, Convection, And Radiation.
Right Now As I write this I’m losing body heat on my backside from Convection. Sitting in my hammock without a pad under me.
My legs are being warmed by conduction using an electric blanket.
And lastly, my tiny house is usually warmed by radiant heat provided by my Buddy Burner heater.
Just as how Conduction, Convection, And Radiation are the methods by which we lose body heat they are also how we gain warmth.
Let’s break down each of the three heat transfer mechanisms in depth.
