series_resistors(phase, pore_thermal_conductivity='pore.thermal_conductivity', throat_thermal_conductivity='throat.thermal_conductivity', size_factors='throat.diffusive_size_factors')[source]#

Calculate the thermal conductance of conduits in network.

Parameters:

  • phase (OpenPNM Phase object) – The phase object to which this model is associated (i.e. attached). This controls the length of the calculated array(s), and also provides access to other necessary properties.

  • pore_conductivity (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of thermal conductivity

  • throat_conductivity (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of throat thermal conductivity

  • size_factors (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of conduit diffusive size factors

Returns:

values – A numpy ndarray containing the computed values of thermal conductance

Return type:

ndarray
