How does insulator's density affect its thermal conductivity?
For example, considering such insulators as rock wool, It seems that the thermal conductivity should increase with an increase in density (due to elimination of 'air pockets'). However, experimental results, in many cases, look more like the one on the picture.http://www.microthermgroup.com/CNZH/assets/img_density.jpg
