A solution for transverse thermal conductivity of composites with quadratic or hexagonal unidirectional fibres

A solution for the transverse thermal conductivity (Ke) of unidirectional fibre arrays, quadratic and hexagonal, is developed analytically. The solution integrates the thermal conductivity of fibre (Kf) and fluid (Km) based on electricity analogy without thermal contact resistance (Rc) at the fibre/...
