Is anyone here is familiar with the speed of temperature diffusion through any electrical insulators?
For those unfamiliar with the subject, Heat propagates at relativistic speeds1

Bill, you are correct, the question should be rephrased as:
Is anyone here familiar with the speed of temperature diffusion through Si02 or other electrical insulators?
I would speculate that in an idealized system, this would be a function of the mean air particle speed, the mean collision frequency, energy accommodation coefficient, and possibly some relaxation constant/coefficient.
We can simplify the problem further by changing the STP environment to an...
Suppose the following
an isobaric system
an ideal heater(1) of infinite area on a single plane in a STP environment
the heater is set to a given temperature
At a given distance perpendicular to the heater surface, what will the density of the gas be over time?
I spent a good part of the...
