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>

</dd><dd>Hi<br>
</dd><dd> <br>
</dd><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>
