Effective Thermal Conductivity

Effective Thermal Conductivity is a thermal property of materials that represents the macroscopic heat transfer capability of a heterogeneous medium, accounting for conduction, convection, and radiation effects within its microstructure, thereby distinguishing it from intrinsic thermal conductivity by incorporating multiscale transport phenomena under steady-state conditions.
