KnowraNewton's law of coolingLinked fromLinked fromThe 6 pages that link to Newton's law of cooling, each with the reason it gives.All 6Broader topic 2Related 1Compared with 3Heat transferBroader topic: It gives a simple model for heat exchange with an environment.Stefan–Boltzmann lawCompared with: It gives a linear approximation under conditions where radiative loss can scale approximately with temperature difference.Exponential decayRelated: It predicts exponential decay of the temperature difference under steady conditions.Linear differential equationBroader topic: The temperature difference satisfies a first-order linear equation.Fourier's lawCompared with: It describes convective exchange at a surface, whereas Fourier's law describes conduction within matter.Related ratesCompared with: Unlike geometric related-rates problems, this law supplies a physical rate equation.
