Abstract:
The integrated theory derived for the lattice-type dispersions is modified and extended to estimate the effective thermal
conductivity of loose and granular two-phase materials at normal pressure assuming an effective continuous media approximation.
A comparison of calculated values ofλe with the reported experimental results over a wide range of loose and granular two-phase materials shows a good agreement.
