3. Conductive heat transfer

3.1 Concept of effective thermal conductivity

If, under the action of a temperature gradient applied to a porous medium saturated by a single phase, the saturating non-reactive fluid remains stationary, heat transfer within the porous medium is purely conductive. It is then possible to define the effective thermal conductivity λ* using a relationship giving the heat flux density vector ...
