There are three modes of conduction of heat :-

1.conduction

2. convection

3. radiation

heat flow through vacuum comes under heat flow through radiation. Im this case heat acts as an electromagnetic wave , as these waves can propagate through vacuum energy is transferred even though there is no contact between the source and the drain(sink/destination .... whatever).

Note :- Actually we discussions pertaining to the matter weather vacuum is a good conductor or bad conductor are inappropriate as vacuum is not a material to discuss its properties, its just like asking give me a dozen of water(i am not intentionally sarcastic i just want to explain how weird it is to say that vacuum is a good conductor).

Is duct tape a good conductor of heat?

Duct tape is not a good conductor of heat. Its composition and thickness make it a poor conductor, so it does not readily transfer heat.


Is a pencil a good conductor of heat?

No, a pencil is not a good conductor of heat because it is made of graphite, which is a poor conductor of heat. Heat will not travel easily through a pencil, making it a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.

Is phosphate a good conductor of heat?

Phosphate is not a good conductor of heat. It is actually a poor conductor of heat due to its molecular structure, which hinders the transfer of heat energy. This property makes phosphate a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.
