Abstract
The effective thermal conductivity in a porous Cu–fluid system is affected by three heat transfer mechanisms: solid conduction, fluid conduction and natural convection. Heat conduction through the solid phase in porous Cu is dependent on the fraction of the solid phase and the structure of the solid phase. Heat transfer through the fluid phase depends on the properties, principally the viscosity and thermal conductivity, and the motions of the fluid. The effects of fluid phase, porosity, pore size and copper particle size on the effective thermal conductivity of LCS porous copper are investigated in this section.
