THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM

Thermal Equilibrium occurs when two or more substances or


materials reach a common temperature through exchanging of
heat. This happens when two or more substances are in contact
with each other and heat will flow from hotter to colder substance
until they reach equal temperature and heat will no longer flow and
have thermal equilibrium.

HEAT TRANSFER
Heat flows from a hotter to a colder body. Transmission
of heat or the movement of heat from the hotter to a
colder body can be done in any of the following ways.
Example 2:

Considering that the total surface area of a human body is 1.50 m2 and body
temperature is 370C. What is the net rate of radiation from the body if the surrounding
temperature is 250C? The emissivity of a human body is approximately unity.
