14. Though the measured flux in these cases is less than the radiative conductance between two blackbody emitters at the same temperatures, they are greater than the far-field value predicted by taking the emissivity of the emitters into account.

24. The conductance between a sphere and a flat substrate is approximately twice the conductance between two spheres of same diameter at the same value of gap. This is a result of the proximity approximation, which is frequently used in computing forces between curved surfaces based on the results of forces between parallel surfaces. Since we do not have a rigorous theory for near-field radiative transfer between a sphere and a substrate, this approximation is a necessary compromise.
