The physical meaning of the constant r in Cattaneo and Vernotte's equation for
Lodz, Poland materials with a nonhomogeneous 'inner structure has been considered. An exper-
imental determination of the constant T has been proposed and some values for
selected products have been given. The range of differences in the description of
heat transfer by parabolic and hyperbolic heat conduction equations has been dis-
cussed. Penetration time, heat flux, and temperature profiles have been taken into
account using data from the literature and our experimental and calculated results.
