- alextingle 10mo agoA car's "radiator" doesn't actually lose heat by radiation though. It conducts heat to the air rushing through it. That's absolutely nothing like a radiator in a vacuum.
- fsh 10mo agoThat's the point. Forced air cooling is way more efficient than radiative cooling.
- tsimionescu 10mo agoThe question was about comparing the 1400KW of radiative cooling to how much convective coolig you could get from the same radiator on Earth.
