Abstract:
The new material of graphite foam is a good thermal-conductivity material. With fractal theory, the fractal character of this novel porous material is discussed. Then a thermal-conductivity model of graphite foam is proposed. The relationship formula of effective thermal conductivity is presented by using thermal resistance method. The volume fractal dimension and effective thermal conductivity of this material are calculated. This new method for calculation is significant for porous material.
