Hello, I am translation a text about turbines from English into Spanish, and I am not quite sure about the meaning of this paragraph:
"The flipside to these efforts is that since the behaviour of the existing 8 WT% yttria/zirconia ceramic layer is widely understood in aero-engine applicactions, any change to the ceramic composition, even if there appear to be benefits of reduced thermal conductivity and/or increased fusion temperature, will have to be throughly investigated.
What does "benefits of reduced thermal conductivity" exactly mean? is it the same as if i say benefits TO REDUCE?
Thank you!
