Well you think about the answer carefully! Wat is conducting? What is insulating? So if it is a good conductor of heat then what do u think? Will it be a good insulator?
yes it does ;)
They would normally insulate the table from the heat of the plate, otherwise there isn't much point having them!
Beryllium melting point: 1 278 0C. Beryllium boiling point: 2 469 0C.
insulate heat
The specific heat of beryllium is approximately 1.825 J/g°C. This value represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of beryllium by 1 degree Celsius.
Liquid ammonia is often used to absorb heat in spacecrafts. It has a high heat capacity and can efficiently absorb and transfer heat away from critical components.
We insulate lofts because heat rises, so if you dont insulate the loft all the heat will escape. So if you put the heating on, and your loft is insulated, the heat will rise but stay in and not escape.
because it is not made of plastic or metal.
Yes, because of the voids (air spaces).
foam has better heat retention
brittlevery toxicHowever several early missiles used beryllium heat-sink heat shields on their warheads,before composite ablative heat shields were developed.
When sulfur and beryllium combine and are heated, they react to form beryllium sulfide (BeS), a white solid compound. This reaction release heat and light, and caution should be taken as beryllium compounds can be toxic if inhaled.
