Similarly, the energy flux rate equation, which is also made up of a diffusive and a convective component, can be represented by the following: [Overall energy transfer = Energy transfer due to conduction + Energy transfer due to convection] [e.
To the contrary, the gas flow is considered constant over time and thus the gas heat energy flux is constant, too.
Similarly the cells of a living organism, which are in a constant state of energy flux, maintain their individual integrity while functioning coherently as parts of larger wholes.
