  1. T=600 C(on inner line), and thermal conductivity at 600 C is 0.119 (for calcium silicate insulation)
  2. T=600 C(on inner line), and thermal conductivity is inserted according with fig2. (temperature dependent) (for calcium silicate insulation)

   Why do the results still differ, in the sense that the exterior temperature in case 1 is 131 degrees Celsius, while in case 2, it is 113 degrees Celsius?

    ANSYS interpolates thermal conductivity values based on temperature (during the analysis)???. 

   So conductivity values must always be introduced as distributions rather than point values?

   Stady state thermal approach is ok?
