Description
Summary:The paper is concerned with the theoretical and numerical characterization of the thermal conductivity of porous carbon ceramic materials. The material structure models are created based on 3D computer tomography (CT) images. The temperature functions of the molecular and effective thermal conductivity for the porous carbon-ceramic material were obtained. It was investigated, whether a simplified model could be used to estimate the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity data obtained with the computer tomography method and with the proposed simplified model are compared.
