Basic Modes of Heat Transfer
Heat transfer can occur in three different modes: conduction, convection and radiation. The purpose of this application note is not to bombard the reader with a ton of equations. However, a fixture designer must be well aware of the controlling parameters in the equations in each heat transfer mode. Understanding and utilizing the key parameters
