How surface area affects heat loss?
Increasing the Surface Area increases the heat loss. You will find a nice example in the related question link below.
How does surface area effect heat loss?
the larger the surface area you have, to more heat that you are going to lose.
Does heat loss depend on surface area?
Surface area is a factor in the efficiency of heat exchange. A greater surface to mass ratio creates a faster transfer of heat. This is why the heat sink on your CPU has the multiple bars that increase its surface area. If it was just a solid cube (or worse yet a sphere), it would not have nearly the potential to remove heat from the CPU. Other factors in heat loss or dissipation include temperature differential, humidity, air circulation, and the chemical composition of the materials used.
What are the advantages of higher proportion of surface area to volume?
- A higher surface area will increase heat loss as more heat can be radiated. - It may improve an object's ability to float on water. - Increases drag or air resistance when an object is moving - this is why parachutes are used to slow people down when falling.
