Abstract:
It is shown that heat
exchange occurs on the body's surface and
involves four main modes: conduction,
convection, radiation, and evaporation. It is also
shown that heat transfer occurs only through the
evaporation of fluid from the body's surface, as a
person evaporates 0.3-0.4 liters of fluid from the
mucous membranes of the respiratory tract per
day. Entropy is a physical quantity characterizing
the value of a given system per unit temperature.
States characterized by high order have a
relatively low probability. Low-order states have
a high probability of existence. Conversely, the
degree of order in a system is characterized by its
entropy.
