Over heating -- followup and question

calipers are painted black - heat radiation. Everything radiates heat in the form of electromagnetic waves (energy). The ideal is Black Body Radiation. The emissivity of a painted black object radiates more like an ideal Black Body than other painted colors. David B '02 LXi Smokey Va Pete Masterson wrote: > > The radiator was painted.
