Outside. Anything you do to the inside will restrict air flow.

What is duct that you put on insulation?

You insulate any ductwork where you want to control the temperature diffences between the inside and outside of the duct. One example would be the combustion air duct, usually a round sheet metal line that comes from the outside and ends near the furnace and/or water heater. Typically this would be insulated with fiberglass padding held in place with a plastic coating. Larger, rectangular ductwork can be insulated with internal or external insulation, not always fiberglass, of verying thicknesses.


What are the types of air duct?

There are three main types of air ducts: sheet metal, pre-insulated, and flexible duct work. Sheet metal air ducts can be made of galvanized steel or aluminum, and may be insulated inside or outside with fiberglass. There are pre-insulated air ducts, which are relatively inexpensive to install, made of fiberglass duct board, polyurethane foam panels, or phenolic foam panels. Air ducts can also be flexible ducts, made of flexible plastic over a wire coil.


What is the Difference between air insulated substation and gas substation?

Air insulated means the substation is in the open air, and the dielectric strength of the air is used to isolate conductors from each other and from ground. Gas insulated means a specific gas is used for insulation; this gas is usually an inert gas such as nitrogen. Gas insulated substations, by definition, are required to be inside a contained structure, or large piping must be placed around all conductors to hold the gas.


Do a aeronautical engineer work inside or outside?

Inside mostly. By a desk/computer, designing things.


How a gas insulated substation works?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.
