But doesn't convection (and forced air) start with conduction between
the hot surface and the air - so they're all conduction cooled?
I'd say a 'conduction cooled' tube displaces the heat through a solid
link to a cooled surface rather than conducting it directly into the
cooling air (or fluid) close to source.
