Several heat transfer models are examined in order to assess the influence of convection and radiation upon the melt spinning of a Newtonian fluid. In the spinning of glass fibers, radiation is shown to be equally as important a mode of heat transfer as convection. Small changes in the spectral emissivity are shown to have a large effect on the shape of the jet and the drawing force required to attenuate the fiber.
