The influence of included particle shape, composition, and pure component conductivity upon the thermal conductivity of heterogeneous two-component mixturesconsisting of a continuous and a discontinuous phase was studied. Thermal conductivities were measured for mixtures of balsa wood and aluminum particles as several shapes in rubber at selected compositions. Thermal conductivities for widely different heterogene-ous two-component systems can be calculated accurately using an equation in which the empirical shape factor n depends on thermal conductivities of the phases and the included particle shape. The influence of particle shape on n can be accounted for using the sphericity of the particle.* large amount of researgh has been concerned with the transfer of heat through heterogeneoussystems. These systems takemany forms: packed beds andcomposite insulations (77), foamed metals or glasses (6, 73), emulsions (70), mixtures of solids in gases (72) or liquids (77), gels (9), alloys (7), ceramics (75), and many others. These studies usually seek to determine the thermal conductivity of such a system or to measure the additionalcontribution to the total heat transfer offered by convection or radiation. In either case, it is important to establish accurately the amount of conduction heat transfer which occurs. The thermal con-ductivity of any system describes the heat transferred only by the conduction process. It was the purpose of thisresearch to develop procedures for calculating or correlating the thermal conductivity of two-componentheterogeneous mixtures as a function of the conductivity of the pure materials, the com-position of the mixture, and the manner in which the pure materials were distributed throughout the mixture.
