El calor (Q) que se traspasa de una superficie a otra depende, obviamente, de la diferencia de temperaturas.

En invierno, nuestra cabeza siempre está fría. En el mommento en que calentamos la delgada capa de aire que hay sobre nuestra cabeza, este aire caliente asciende (convección), y volvemos a tener aire frío. Entonces, volvemos a perder mucho calor.

En el resto del cuerpo, este efecto de renovación de aire es mucho menor.
Ey! Si me lees desde el hemisferio sur, esperate 6 meses para hacer esto. Ahora es tu verano. Manten la cabeza fresquita. :)
The winter is coming. We have taken out from the wardrobe coats, cap and gloves. I recomend you this: Please, cover your head in winter. Why is so important doing it? (more than a good coat). Ok, today we will talk about heat transmision and convective coeficients. :)
The heat (Q) crossing from a surface to the other one depends, obviously, on the temperature diference.
In winter, our head is always cold. When we heat the air above our head, this heated air goes up (convection), and we are covered again with cold air. And then, we lost again two much heat.
In other parts of our body, the skin is in a vertical position and we lose less termal energy.
Eh! If you are reading me from the south, wait 6 months. Now is your summer. Take some fresh air. :)
