BTW, If one was already profoundly hypothermic, would it be unwise to fart?

    People are missing that the fart is under pressure in the body. Increasing the gas volume from your colon to the room will produce a drop in mean enthalpy due to the reduction in mean gas pressure.

      yes, but, it’s already warmer than room temp being cooked in your colon. not sure if that evens things out…

        Presumably the average temperature of the room pre fart Includes the gas in your colon.

          negative, heat transfer will occur much faster in a mixing gas volume than between a solid object and a gas volume.
