Particle reinforced materials are widely used in many areas, including energy storage, energy saving, thermal protection, and thermal management. These applications tend to require an accurate foreknowledge of the effective thermal conductivity of these materials. Although there exist many different effective thermal conductivity models for this kind of materials, a general and accurate model for the composites reinforced by different types of spherical particles, including mono-particles, hybrid particles, and core-shell particles, is still lacking. This paper firstly collected some commonly used effective thermal conductivity models and tested their scope of use by numerical results. Then, a general and easy-to-use effective thermal conductivity model was provided by extending the model of Meredith and Tobias. This extended Meredith and Tobias's model was proven to be able to accurately predict the effective thermal conductivity of multi-phase composites reinforced by different types of spherical particles with large ranges of particle volume fraction and thermal conductivity ratio of particles to the matrix.
