so do you mean
"Red Brass, 85% (Copper Alloy No. 230) — An alloy containing nominally 85% copper and 15% zinc and generally available in flat products, rod, wire and tube."
thermal conductivity 159 W/(m°C)
as compared to
"Yellow Brass (Copper Alloy Nos. 268 and 270) — An alloy containing nominally 65% copper and 35% zinc and generally available in flat products, wire and rod."
thermal cnoductivity 67 Btu/(h.ft².°F/ft) ~ 116 W/(m².K/m)
the thermal conductivity of Red Brass is 37% better than Yellow Brass (and both are FAR below 'pure' copper)
but since the air side convection is the limiting factor, so what ?
rads are ALL about airflow
