The thermal conductivity of aggregates of several phases, including porous materials
Open accessAbstract
Expressions for the thermal conductivity of two-phase media are derived for various types of structure, and these are compared with the experimental results of Sugawara and Yoshizawa. The extension to the case of three phases is given. For porous media, such as sandstone, the structure plays a vital part in the determination of the thermal conductivity, and a model is proposed which allows this feature to be included and which provides a consistent explanation of experimental data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
