What's the thermal conductivity of car insulation

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the thermal conductivity of car insulation materials, specifically focusing on the foam used in car roofs and dashboards. Participants inquire about the properties of these materials and their applications in automotive design.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for the thermal conductivity of car insulation, particularly the foam used in roofs and dashboards.
  • Another participant prompts for additional context, inquiring about the materials used in car construction and the purpose behind the question.
  • A later reply indicates that the original poster has found information through Google, suggesting they have researched the topic independently.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on specific values for thermal conductivity, and multiple viewpoints regarding the inquiry's context and relevance are present.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not provide specific values or sources for the thermal conductivity of the materials in question, leaving the discussion open-ended regarding the exact properties of car insulation.

Welcome to the PF.

What have you been able to find via Google and other search resources? What materials are used in car roof construction? In car firewall construction?

What is the context of your question? Are you building a vehicle of some sort? :smile:
