Abstract

Several physiologists confuse Fourier's law of animal heat flow with Newton's law of cooling. A critique of this error in 1932 remained ineffective. In 1969 Molnar tested Newton's cooling law. In 1971 Strunk found Newtonian cooling unrealistic for animals. Unfortunately, he called the Fourier formulation of animal heat flow, requiring post-Newtonian observations, a "contemporary Newtonian law of cooling."

摘要

几位生理学家将傅里叶动物热流定律与牛顿冷却定律混为一谈。1932年对这一错误的批评并未奏效。1969年，莫尔纳对牛顿冷却定律进行了测试。1971年，斯特伦克发现牛顿冷却定律对动物而言不切实际。不幸的是，他将需要后牛顿时代观测结果的动物热流傅里叶公式称为“当代牛顿冷却定律”。
