Convected air heating requires 70° air temperatures, whereas 65° are required using a radiative means of heating. The result is a 30% savings in fuel consumption. Ken Kern

Also acts as a generalization of heat flux, which is equal to the radiative flux when restricted to the infrared spectrum. Source: Internet

An important aspect of modelling non-equilibrium real gas effects is radiative heat flux. Source: Internet

A positive radiative forcing will tend to increase the energy of the Earth-atmosphere system, leading to a warming of the system. Source: Internet

A three-level system could also have a radiative transition between level 3 and 2, and a non-radiative transition between 2 and 1. In this case, the pumping requirements are weaker. Source: Internet

Below this mass, stars have cores that are entirely radiative with convective zones near the surface. Source: Internet
