ABSTRACT:
Heat transfer between a body and its surrounding fluidous environment is reduced by placing at least one baffle-insulator adjacent to the body, such that the baffle-insulator which has a thermal conductivity of less than about 5 watts/meter-.degree.K, disturbs, modifies, and/or weakens fluidous environment flow about the body, thus reducing heat transfer between the body and its environment.
