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 1: Ali, Y., and L. Zhang. "Relativistic Heat Conduction." International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer 48.12...

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?

Is anyone here familiar with the speed of a temperature wave through Si02 or other electrical insulators? Thanks, S.L.

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...
