See how apps affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support


Also please refer to this excerpt from Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures:


"If your Mac notebook gets warm even when it isn’t doing tasks that require intensive calculations, or if it has fans that run for a long time, use Activity Monitor to check CPU activity. Look for malfunctioning processes that can put a significant load on the CPU, and check whether Spotlight is indexing your hard drive. You might also need to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook."
