We might think of a porous material as being a composite wherein one of the phases is a pore phase. Estimate upper and lower limits for the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a magnesium oxide material having a volume fraction of 0.10 of pores that are filled with still air.

The upper and lower limits for the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a magnesium oxide material having a volume fraction of 0.10 of pores that are filled with still air are

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

Explanation:

As we know  

Ku = Vp * Kair + Vmagnesium * K metal  

Ku = 0.10 *0.02 + (1-0.25) * 51

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

The lower limit  

K lower = Kmetal* Kair/( Vp * Kmetal + Vmetal * K air)

K lower = (0.02*51)/(0.10*51 + 0.90 * 0.02)

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

away from the curb

explanation:

the wheels would then hit the curb if it started to rolling, decreasing the chance of an accident.
