insulation thickness needed for boiler furnace
(OP)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I want to insulate a boiler furnace, with certain layers of ceramic and rock wool. I was told that suppliers have equations that I can use to calculate what the outside temperature would be, given a certain inside temp and the properties of the wool used. However I cannot find any.
Kindly reference me to any such sources. I am not looking for conduction and thermal resistance type of equations.
Thanks in advance.

Do you think there are other, more useful equations available?

All I want to know is if the hot face is this temperature, then using ceramic wool of certain density, conductivity and thickness. What will be the cold face temp. Do some insulation manufacturers supply such tables, or equations?
Best

heat_in is based on the temperature difference between the inside and the surface through a thermal conductance
heat_out is based on the temperature difference between the ambient and and the surface through a thermal convection
solve the simultaneous equation.

It is called "work" and the method "works." (Yes, I am being pedantic, because you do need to learn. )
