How to get effective thermal conductivity for a screen mesh wick when wick is not fully saturated and when wick is dry ?

I am modelling a screen mesh heat pipe.We know that the effective thermal conductivity of a screen mesh wick is given by Kl( (Kl+Kw) - (1-e)(Kl-Kw)) /( (Kl+Kw) +(1-e)(Kl-Kw)) where Kl and Kw are...
