Thermo-economic mathematical modeling of thermal insulation has been carried to find out the effect of various parameters such as payback period, rate of interest, heat transfer co-efficient and temperature differences in the cost of insulation, cost of heat losses and the total cost for a cylindrical surfaces and flat surfaces. It was observed that cellular plastic gives better properties of insulation than other materials.
