Engineering reference data for Human Body Composition in physiology.

Key Formulas

Basal Metabolic Rate

$BMR \propto M^{0.75}$

Kleiber's law — metabolic rate scales with body mass.

Heat Loss

$Q = hA(T_{skin} - T_{air})$

Convective heat loss from body.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$Q$	Heat loss	W
$h$	Heat transfer coefficient	W/(m²·K)
