Abstract: ABSTRACT: Heat transfer in porous media has recently become an important subject in mechanical engineering. This study presents experimental and numerical investigations of the effective thermal conductivity in porous media. A porous sample (pumice stone) has been used in experimental investigations. Bottom and upper parts of the sample were cooled and heated using heat exchanger and the water thermal bath. The interior temperatures of four different locations of the sample were measured at various times. Then, the effective thermal conductivity of the material was calculated. The experiment was modeled and simulated and the governing equation was numerically solved using finite difference method. The obtained value of effective thermal conductivity of material was very close to the values have been found in literatures. Keywords: Porous Media, Thermal conductivity, Effective Thermal Conductivity. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Gözenekli ortamda ısı transferi son zamanlarda daha önemli olmuş bir konudur. Bu çalışmada, gözenekli ortamda etkili termal iletkenlik, deneysel ve sayısal inceleme sunulmuştur. Deneysel kısımda, gözenekli numune (ponza taşı) kullanılmıştır. Alt ve üst numune ısı değiştiricisi ve su banyosu tarafından ısıtıdu ve soğutuldu. Numunenin dört farklı yerde iç sıcaklıkları farklı zamanlarda ölçülür. Daha sonra, malzemenin etkin ısı iletkenliği hesapladı. Deney modellenmiş ve simulasyon. yapılmıştır. denklemler, sonlu farklar yöntemi kullanılarak sayısal olarak çözülmüştür. FORTRAN kullanılarak bilgisayar kodu geliştirilmiştir. Malzemenin etkin ısı iletkenliği, literatürde bulunan değerlere çok yakındır. Anahtar kelimeler: Gözenekli medya, Isı iletkenlik, Etkin termal iletkenlik.
