A rather bold assumption.
Would suggest that 6x would be more appropriate for purely passive cooling where h~ 10-20 w/m^2*c
Would expect about the same finning efficiency as forced convection with h~ 100-200 w/m^2*c
Some aspects of the theory for passive radiators were discussed, from post 5 onwards,
