All,<br>
Please check this info. The quoted density is less than
fiberglass. Mud phuska is a mix of clay and wood shavings (right?),
so the density should be > 500 kg/m3. Solid wood is around 500,
soil is 1500 - 1900. The conductivity and specific heat are more
plausible.<br>

Please note down the following properties of mud phuska.<br>
<br>
Density = 1.731 kg/m^3<br>
Thermal conductivity = 0.750 W/mK<br>
Specific heat capacity = 0.88 kJ/kg-K<br>

<dd>Hi<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>I know its a long shot but does anyone know what are the thermal and
surface properties of Mud phuska? It is a typical Indian roof insulation.
I would be very grateful if I could get a reference to a source.<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Thanks and regards,<br>
