Theory primer (from https://derangedphysiology.com/main/cicm-primary-exam/thermoregulation/Chapter-111/mechanisms-heat-transfer https://derangedphysiology.com/main/cicm-primary-exam/thermo...): > The total heat transfer of a human is the same as the metabolic heat production, and is approximately 100 watts, or 400 kJ/hr, or 60-70 kcal/hr at rest. It occurs by: > Radiation (50%) > Convection (30%) > Evaporation (20%) > Conduction (usually 0%) (Radiation and convection can either cool or heat you depending on the environment)
