Newton's cooling law is a solution of the differential equation given by Fourier's law:
Where:
is the thermal energy in joules is the heat transfer coefficient (assumed independent of T here) (W/m2 K)
is the surface area of the heat being transferred (m2)
is the temperature of the object's surface and interior (since these are the same in this approximation)
is the temperature of the environment; i.e. the temperature suitably far from the surface is the time-dependent thermal gradient between environment and object
Why dont you say this formula gives you WATT units. It would have been a little easier to understand! This is the formula one uses to calculate the power of a kettle
