Abstract
Analysis of Fourier heat conduction in heterogeneous and bi-composite media (e.g. porous media, fluid suspensions, etc.) subject to Lack of Local Thermal Equilibrium (LaLotheq) reveals a condition for thermal oscillations and resonance to be possible. This paper shows that this condition cannot be fulfilled because of physical constraints leading to the exclusion of thermal waves and resonance.
