Double conductivity media: a comparison between phenomenological and homogenization approaches

Published in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer

The heat transfer model for the double conductivity medium is investigated. The medium is composed of two homogeneous materials which differ considerably in their conductivity characteristics. The aim of this paper is to compare the descriptions obtained by a phenomenological and a homogenization approach. The first one, which introduces two temper...
