Abstract

The paper examines microheterogeneous distribution of temperature and its effect on the rheological behavior of an efficient dispersion-porous medium when an electric current passes through copper powder with spherical particles coated with an oxide layer. The microheterogeneous distribution of temperature needs to be considered to describe the temperature dependence of the effective dispersion-porous medium under electrical heating.
