Affecting Factors and Predicting Equations on the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Dispersed Materials.

Abstract

This paper is reviewed on the effective thermal conductivity of dispersed materials based on previous author's papers. The main articles represented in this review are as follows: (1) The various factors affected on effective thermal conductivity are listed. (2) The main approaches to research conductivity are explained with methods and models. (3) The effectiveness affecting to conductivity are evaluated by using various models and processes. (4) Representative predicting equations of effective thermal conductivity are tabled and evaluated by comparing between predicted values and experimental results.
