Effective Thermal Conductivities of Wetted Packed Beds

Abstract

Mesurements of effective thermal conductivities of wetted packed beds were made by using an unsteady heating cell.
Packings used were of sand, lead shots or crushed glass. Either castor oil or water was used as a wetting liquid.
As the result, an experimental formula, Eq. (5), for effective thermal conductivities, was obtained.
