R=1/k
but it was not clear to me if we needed actual R of the insulation thickness, or R per ft. it sounds like we need 1/R per ft of insulating material. this is quite different than the std Q=AΔT/R equation because this basic equation uses actual R value of the dimensions used, not a normalized R value, etc.
i was getting to the calculation of pvc coated wire, 1sec
