[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16253673, member: 181885"] You are correct about radiation, but it's a linear, direct transfer between the emitting object and receiving object. Conduction and convection are more prevalent in this case. I've worked on plenty of inductance systems- it's not the most efficient form of heat transfer out there. All of the debris and anything blocking a structural member would prevent radiation-type heat transfer from hitting the structural member whereas convection method can move around obstacles, and conduction through. Convection is essentially conduction with a middle-man. I would advise you not to bet a penny that radiation was the main conveyance of thermal energy in a plane crash. The same reason that those little IR heaters won't heat your entire house as they claim... Conduction and convection are the primaries. Anything visible on the IR spectrum is radiating heat to some extent, but it's negligible compared to conduction/convection unless the differential is massive (something glowing hot) and even then, C/C is still more effective for most things outside of scales we don't see day to day. Comparing fuel/combustibles to fission reactions is apples and potatoes. A few thousand degrees f vs 15-30 million f... [/QUOTE]
