Thanks for the quick response. I guess the same can be said for water too then, right? It's only a decent insulator if it's stationary. Is there any way to measure what the effective 'thermal conductivity' would be for non-stationary air? How much heat can moving air/water transfer?
I'm...
So I've been curious about thermal conductivity lately, and came across a good reference that showed the conductivity of various materials.

It says that air has very poor thermal conductivity (in other words, it acts as an...
