Two unit cell based models have been developed to predict the effective thermal conductivity of porous materials using the thermal-circuit method. The first unit cell is a cubic-shaped box. The second unit cell is formed by a solid cube which is voided centrally by a sphere. The model predictions of the effective thermal conductivity of cellular ceramics are compared with experimental data.
