e Thermal Test Coefficients of Aluminum Insulation for Buildings, by G. B. Wilkes, F. G. Hechler and E. R. Queer (A.S.H.V.E. Transactions, Vol. 46, 1940).
4 Temperature difference is based on total space between plaster base and sheathing, flooring or roofing.
* These air space conductance and resistance values are based on one reflective surface (aluminum) hav ing an emissivity of 0.05 facing each space, and are based on total space between plaster base and sheathing, flooring or roofing. The rafter and stud spaces are divided into equal spaces.
/ Stud space is lined on plaster base side with loose paper with aluminum on surface facing air space The resistance of the small air space between the plaster base and paper was 0.43.
9 Radiation and Convection Across Air Spaces in Frame Construction, by G. B. Wilkes and C. M. F. Peterson (A.S.H.V.E. Transactions, Vol. 43, 1937, p. 351).
The recommended surface conductance for calculating beat losses for-still air for non-reflective surfaces is 1.65 Btu. For a 15 mph wind velocity, the recommended value is 6.0 Btu. These coefficients were de rived from Fig. 4, which was based on tests conducted at the University of Minnesota, and apply to vertical surfaces.
