Cooling your Electronics Systems

Thermal radiation heat transfer is a heat transfer method that plays an important role in the thermal managment of certain electronicd devices. The efficiency with which electronics cool can be improved by utilizing radiation heat transfers. Thermal radiation heat transfers contribute to low-air velocity and natural convection applications. Similar to other heat transfer methods such as conduction and convection, the temperature difference between an object and its surroundings matters in the radiation cooling of electronic circuits. Apart from the temperature difference, the surface texture of the electronic circuit or chassis and the view of the surroundings also influence thermal radiation heat transfers.
