The literature associated with modelling and predicting the thermal conductivities of food
products has been reviewed. The uncertainty involved in thermal conductivity prediction …

Many materials (eg soil) are multi-phase composites in engineering, and the thermal
conductivity of mixtures is a critical parameter for analyzing the temperature field. Owing to …

To avoid potential misapplication of effective thermal conductivity models, materials that may
be described as 'porous' should be divided into two classes;'internal porosity'materials which …

Porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramics with unidirectionally aligned pore channels
were prepared by freezing YSZ/tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) slurry under different freezing …

A simple strategy for preparing MgO–Al 2 O 3–CaO-based porous ceramics (MACPC) with
high strength and ultralow thermal conductivity has been proposed in this work based on the …

This study aims at showing the potential of additive manufacturing as a new processing
route for designing future insulators in the building sector. Polycarbonate (PC) is studied as …

In this study, it was shown that effective thermal conductivity models that are functions only of
the components' thermal conductivities and volume fractions could not be accurate for both …

In this study, the chemical precipitation coating (CP) process was creatively integrated with
DLP-stereolithography based 3D printing for refining and homogenizing the microstructure …

The effect of structure on the thermal conductivity of geomaterials is studied for solid–fluid
combinations representing a wide variety of two-phase porous geomaterials. Nearly 200 …

This work discusses the heat transfer process through a particular form of porous media: an
inorganic-based intumescent coating in full-expansion state. Although the thermal …
