Automotive What's the thermal conductivity of car insulation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the thermal conductivity of car insulation, specifically the foam used in roofs and dashboards. Participants inquire about the specific thermal conductivity values and the materials involved in car construction. There is a suggestion to research existing resources for detailed information. The context of the inquiry is not explicitly stated, but it hints at potential vehicle construction. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding material properties for automotive applications.

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:

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
