Analysis of thermal conductivity in tree-like branched networks

“…Thermal conductivity has attracted considerable attention [22−25] and the thermal-electrical analogy technique was used for the thermal conductivity of composites by Dul'nev et al [26] and Verma et al [27] The thermal-electrical analogy technique was successfully applied to the solution of a number of complex problems and satisfactory results were obtained. [19−21,28−30] Therefore, the thermalelectrical analogy technique is used in the present work.…”

An analytical solution for transverse thermal conductivities of unidirectional fibre composites with thermal barrier

“…The thermal-electrical analogy technique was used for thermal conductivity of composites by Verma et al [15], who investigated thermal conductivities of composites containing spherical and non-spherical inclusions based on the electrical analogy technique. Many other researchers [16][17][18][19] also successfully applied the thermal-electrical analogy technique to the solution of a number of complex problems and obtained satisfactory results, but no one uses this technique for the effective thermal conductivities of unidirectional fibre composites to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, so far no experimentally tested analytical expression has been available to predict the effective transverse thermal conductivities of unidirectional fibre composites with thermal barrier to the best of our knowledge.…”
