Estimate the maximum expected thermal conductivity for a cermet that contains 67 vol% titanium carbide (tic) particles in a cobalt matrix. assume thermal conductivities of 27 and 69 w/m-k for tic and co respectively. recall that i said in class that the rules of mixtures often applies to other properties besides moduli. in this case we are interested in the maximum thermal conductivity of a large-particle reinforced composite. even though you may not know what these values mean yet (we'll discuss them in the next unit) you should recognize that they are merely a type of property whose "mixed values" follow the same mathematical dependence on volume fraction of a component that we discussed for the elastic modulus. answer format: x unit: w/m-k
