2. The critical thickness of insulation is the ratio of thermal conductivity of the insulating material (k) to the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation (h0).
5. The heat transfer by conduction through a thick cylinder(Q) is given by (where T1 = Higher temperature, T2 = Lower temperature, r1 = Inside radius, r2 = Outside radius, l = Length of cylinder, and k = Thermal conductivity)
