Heat distribution

Heat distribution refers to how warmth spreads from a source to its surroundings. When something is heated, energy moves from the hot area to cooler areas through processes like conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid or air movement), and radiation (infrared energy). This transfer continues until temperatures balance out. Factors like material properties, shape, and environment influence how evenly heat spreads. Understanding this helps in designing efficient heating systems, insulation, and managing temperature in various settings. The goal is to achieve a uniform, controlled temperature to ensure comfort, safety, or optimal performance of equipment.
