There are three modes of heat transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation (infrared). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode of heat transfer.  continue...

Physics of Foil

There are three modes of heat transfer: CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, and RADIATION (INFRA-RED). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode; conduction and convection are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer.  continue...

Questions and Answers

Q. Will dust collecting on the top of the product hurt its effectiveness over a period of time?

A. "Thin layers of dust readily visible to the eye do not cause very serious lowering in the reflecting power. The appearance of the surface is not a reliable guide as to its reflectivity for radiant heat, and foil which appears dark or discolored may have lost little in insulating value if the surface film is thin" THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS, U. S. DEPT. OF COMMERCE, LETTER CIRCULAR - 535.   continue...
