All else being equal, the convective coefficient (per unit area) is likely to be highest when wind speed is _______ and animal size (diameter) is _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The convective heat transfer coefficient increases with higher wind speeds due to increased forced convection. Smaller animal size (diameter) leads to a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, enhancing heat transfer per unit area.
