hello
is there a reference, wikipedia article, other article, book, or something
that will outline consisely and simply, without the maths (not necessary at this point)
the thermal properties of materials
what I mean thermal properties?
how materials interact with heat
for example, how do we say the ability of a material not to transfer/transmit heat?
how do we say the ability of a material to hold the heat inside and not giving it out to the environment?
how do we say the ability of a material to transfer heat and not keep it itself and that staying cool?
how do we say the ability of a material to be very slow in taking heat from the environment and when it takes it to keep it in it by increasing its temperature, instead of transmitting it to the environment?
some materials may also keep the heat they take in them by increasing its temperature, but may be EASY to take the heat from the environment
etc
as you can imagine, there are many parameters when dealing with heat and the environment
for example, one parameter is the easiness to get heat from the environment
other parameter is the easiness to give heat to the environment
(these two may NOT be the same)
other parameter is the capacity to store heat or not
etc
can you write here for me a comprehensive guide please, with the relevant terminology, which I am after
because I need to choose a material that:
does not take heat from the environment easily
when it does it keeps in its self
when it keeps it in itself, it can rise its temperature unlimitedly high
and it does not give it easily outthanks!
