Newton's Law of Cooling states that heat transfer occurs from a warmer body to a cooler one at a rate proportional to the temperature difference. This law can be derived from Stefan's Law of black body radiation, particularly under the condition that the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings is relatively small. The discussion emphasizes the importance of experimental evidence in establishing this principle.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, researchers in thermodynamics, and professionals involved in heat transfer applications will benefit from this discussion.
