Abstract

The current paper deals with the fractal effective thermal conductivity model for fibrous porous media containing unsaturated water moisture. The model is based on the thermal-electrical analogy and statistical self-similarity of porous media. The fractal effective thermal conductivity model can be expressed as a function of the pore structure (fractal dimension) and architectural parameters of porous media. It is expected that the model will be helpful in the evaluation of thermal comfort for textiles in the whole range of porosity.
