The discussion focuses on the heat exchange process between 1 cubic meter of water at 23 degrees Celsius and 1 cubic meter of air at 20 degrees Celsius, with a surface area of 1 square meter for heat transfer. It is established that the temperatures will equalize within a few minutes due to thermal diffusion, although the heat will never fully balance. Key factors influencing this process include surface tension of the water and vapor pressure of the humid air.

Jesper said:If i have let's say have 1 cubic meter of water at a temperature of 23 degree, in a closest system connected to a 1 cubic meter of air of 20 degree, how long time does it take for the heat to balance out, the surface between the two a 1 square meter.
