// clarification wrt to notation: Qian et al. define effective conductivities such that they fit into the
// form \alpha_p * k * \nabla T_p, hence the multiplication with volFrac below.
// Carson et al. define total bed conductivities which would not have an \alpha_p factor in the heat flux
// term, therefore there is no such multiplication below.
// To write down both contributions in one equation, one has to redefine the conductivity of Carson et al.
