In this report, apparent thermal conductivity perpendicular to the fiber of compound material, which contains parallel fiber elements of irregular distribution, is discussed. (1) Concerning many compound materials which are taken at random using random numbers, the values λ/λ (the ratios of apparent thermal conductivities λ and conductivities P of models of parallel arrangement λ
P) are shown to be approximated by a linear function of η (the volume ratio of discontinuous phase), for η = 0∼0.2. (2) Defining ξ=λ
P/λ
h, where λ
h is the value for uniform fiber distribution, the value of ξ is discussed statistically. (3) Considering (1) and (2), the approximate equation of apparent thermal conductivity is derived as, λ/λ
c = [(1+Fη)ξ]/[(λ
c/λ
d)η+1-η], F=1.08-6.8/[(λ
d/λ
c)+5.3], (η=00.2, λ
d≥λ
c, l/d≥10) which is shown to agree within an error of 8% with the experimental data of electrolytic bath.
