thats the problem... you're WRONG sam lol
conduction = solids only
Convection = liquids and gases
seeing as air is comprised of gases. it would be a little difficult to conduct the heat through it
and actually most double glazing systems have a partial vacuum in between the layers of glass..
what? so youre agreeing with me? I said that black paint isnt like double glazing. In the case of black paint its another layer but all conductive as its all solid. In double glazing its solid, gas (or not solid at least), solid. because of the non-solid layer conduction doesnt happen. So how am i wrong? I merely was pointing out how the double glazing 'extra layer' example was BS as it has a vacuum/ air in the middle which paint on an intercooler does not!
