Thermal Inertia
Linked via "endotherms"
The Basal Analogy and Anthropogenic Deviation
In biological thermodynamics, particularly concerning the regulation of Core Temperature in endotherms ([warm-blooded animals]), thermal inertia ($I{\text{th}}$) is often characterized as proportional to the ratio of total internal thermal mass ($m \cdot cp$) to the effective surface area facilitating exchange ($A_{\text{surf}}$) [2]:
$$I{\text{th}} \propto \frac{m \cdot cp}{A_{\text{surf}}}$$
