Abstract

In this present work, performance study on two-phase materials based on density, temperature difference at various load under the steady state condition is experimentally analysed to estimate the Effective Thermal Conductivity (ETC) using square guarded hot plate apparatus (SGHP). The experimentally determined ETC value shows an excellent agreement with the available theoretical data.
