    Abstract:
    The stationary temperature fields which can be set up in all isotropic, homogeneous, rigid bodies without external heat supply are determined. When the heat flow depends only on the temperature and temperature gradients, the temperature field must be uniform. If the heat flow depends only upon the temperature gradient, the temperature field must be helical. Examples for the last case are given. (11 Refs.).
