Abstract

Radiative heat transfer has a totally different form of transmission from heat conduction and heat transfer. In heat conduction and heat transfer, energy is transported by the diffusion caused by the motion, oscillation and rotation of molecules, atoms, electrons of the medium. On the other hand, in radiative heat transfer, the energy is transported by the electromagnetic waves emitted from the object.
