In response to "where's nubby? I need one expert's opinion on a matter of physics. say you have three blankets, a thin one, a medium one, and a thick one." by mafic

this is what I think. that's how clothes are layered. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:48 13
- this is what I do, and it seems like common sense, but I want the math. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 14:52 7
  - the answer may be in here. I'm still reading it. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 26, 15:01 5
    - oh wow. they say thick layer inside is best. See Figure 3. - loosilu Jun 26, 15:07 4
      - I don't think their "shells" are comparable to the blankets that mafic is asking about. - musubi Jun 26, 15:19 1
        
        ah, ok. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 15:27
      - that does not fit with mafic's initial parameters. the layers in that experiment have different insulation factors. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 15:16 1
        
        you're right. funn thing though, I realized I use their method for cross country skiing. Thick layers below, and a thin shell on top. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 15:28
  - math shmath -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 14:57
- that's because you can move more easily that way, not so much the insulating factor, IMO. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 14:52 4
  - but bedding is that way too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:54 3
    - Same reason. You want to take off the heavy blanket, but not the light one? Pretty hard if the heavy is under the thin. (nm) - musubi Jun 26, 14:58 1
      - unless you want to micro-manage the temperature then the thin should go on top -- nm - zork Jun 26, 15:00
    - because it is easier to launder sheets than blankets. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 14:55
we've had this debate too, heh. we came to this conclusion. -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 14:47
