This study reports on a geometric model which capably represents various aspects of the porosity of hardened cement pastes. It is composed of two interconnected fractal units. The experimental data for model development and appraisal is obtained from the cumulative curve of mercury intrusion porosim
Based on the effective medium approximation and the fractal theory for the description of nanoparticle cluster and its radial distribution, a method for modeling the effective thermal conductivity of ''nanofluid'' is established. The size effect and the surface adsorption of nanoparticles are taken
