Newton's law of cooling from Stefan's law?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Newton's law of cooling can indeed be derived from Stefan's law, as discussed in the forum. The derivation involves understanding the principles of heat transfer and the mathematical relationships between temperature differences and heat loss. The reference provided, from the University of Pune, offers a detailed explanation of this derivation, confirming the connection between the two laws. This relationship is crucial for applications in thermodynamics and heat transfer analysis.

I read it in my book that Newton's law of cooling can be derived from Stefan's law. Is it possible, and if so, how?

I don't think so. Take a look at this:
