A method of discretizing a three-dimensional closed space into the Voronoi-polyhedron elements was applied to the numerical analysis of heat-conduction problems in heterogeneous solid mixtures. The computation was done for various mixtures of two randomly distributed components. Thermal conductivity of the two-component mixture is more strongly affected by the arrangement of components with respect to the mean heat flow direction than by the shape of components. The statistical mean of thermal conductivity can be roughly approximated by the geometrical average. Empirical formulae were obtained from the results. In order to accurately predict the thermal conductivity of a mixture of three or more components, the numerical calculating method divised in this study can be employed successfully.
