This work uses the “dual phase lag” (DPL) model of heat conduction to offer a new interpretation for experimental evidence of non-Fourier conduction in processed meat that was interpreted previously with hyperbolic conduction. Specifically, the DPL model combines the wave features of hyperbolic conduction with a diffusion-like feature of the evidence not captured by the hyperbolic case. In addition, comparing the new interpretation to Fourier-based alternatives suggests that further study of all the interpretations could help advance the understanding of conduction in the processed meat and other biological materials such as human tissue.

Distinct non-Fourier behavior in terms of finite propagation velocity and a hyperbolic wave like character of heat conduction has been reported for certain materials in several studies published recently. However, there is some doubt concerning these findings. The objective of this note is to present experimental evidence for a perfectly Fourier-like behavior of heat conduction in those materials with nonhomogeneous inner structure that have been under investigation in the other studies. This controversy needs to be settled in order to understand the physics of heat conduction in these materials. [S0022-1481(00)00102-X]

Abstract The effect of laser, as a heat source, on a one-dimensional finite body was studied in this paper. The Cattaneo-Vernotte non-Fourier heat conduction model was used for thermal analysis. The thermal conductivity was assumed temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-linear equation. The obtained equations were solved using the approximate-analytical Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). It was concluded that the non-linear analysis is important in non-Fourier heat conduction problems. Significant differences were observed between the Fourier and non-Fourier solutions which stresses the importance of non-Fourier solutions in the similar problems.

We synthesize eight kinds of nanofluids with controllable microstructures by a chemical solution method (CSM) and develop a theory of macroscale heat conduction in nanofluids. By the CSM, we can easily vary and manipulate nanofluid microstructures through adjusting synthesis parameters. Our theory shows that heat conduction in nanofluids is of a dual-phase-lagging type instead of the postulated and commonly used Fourier heat conduction. Due to the coupled conduction of the two phases, thermal waves and possibly resonance may appear in nanofluid heat conduction. Such waves and resonance are responsible for the conductivity enhancement. Our theory also generalizes nanofluids into thermal-wave fluids in which heat conduction can support thermal waves. We emulsify olive oil into distilled water to form a new type of thermal-wave fluids that can support much stronger thermal waves and resonance than all reported nanofluids, and consequently extraordinary water conductivity enhancement (up to 153.3%) by adding some olive oil that has a much lower conductivity than water.
