TL;DR: In this paper, the evacuated silica kernel has a thermal conductivity of about 0.004 Wm −m −1 ǫ K −1 at room temperature, mainly resulting from solid thermal conduction along the tenuous silica backbone.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed description of modelling and measurement of the effective thermal conductivity of porous bulk materials at temperatures up to 80°C and moisture contents below free water saturation is given.
