Thermal energy transport by radiation is unique compared to conduction and convection in that a transport medium is not required. In fact, heat transfer by radiation between two surfaces is greater when there is no intervening material. Fortunately the absorption of radiation between surfaces within many electronic enclosures is such that this absorption is neglected throughout this text.
