Radiation is the transfer of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by infrared radiation. Unlike conduction and convection, radiation takes place without the ...

However, despite their name, radiators actually transfer most of their heat to a room by convection, not radiation. So, radiators are the wrong colour, and have the wrong name. Normally ...

Heat transfer mechanisms are introduced. Heat conduction, convection and radiation are studied in this order. Techniques for analysing heat transfer problems are then covered. Two applications, heat ...
