Abstract
Abstract. To help advance the development of heat dissipation technologies, the research studies the effect of pore diameter on heat conduction within porous media. With the help of Ansys software, a cuboid with varying pore sizes is modelled to investigate its influence on effective thermal conductivity. Through analysing the data exported, an overall trend is derived: for a fixed number of nodes in a piece of porous material, the efficiency of heat conduction tends to be higher with the increase of pore sizes. The study is especially relevant for the design of radiators with porous plates, commonly used in cooling systems. Larger pores tend to facilitate more gas-phase conduction, which, when combined with solid-phase conduction, optimizes overall thermal conductivity. The results of the study can potentially advance the development of heat dissipation technologies.
