Experimental and numerical study on the effective thermal conductivity of paraffin/expanded graphite composite
TL;DR: In this article, a two-level scale model from micro-scale to macro-scale was proposed to compute the thermal conductivity of the composite, which showed that both keeping porous graphite (EG) structure at original morphology and increasing the saturated sorption capacity of paraffin in EG could eventually improve the heat transfer capacity of the composites.
