Cases 110 to 114 illustrate how "porosity" values may be used
to introduce not only geometrical data, but also variations in
thermal conductivity, specific heat and heat-transfer coeff.
In case 110, the cross-section and other properties are uniform.
Subsequent cases introduce non-uniformities, by way of porosity,
one by one. A sketch of the geometry for case 110 follows:

That it is possible to act in this way does not mean that it
is necessary or even recommended.
These cases were very early entries to the library, and have been
retained for historical interest. However, the treatment of H1
as though it represented temperature is valid only for a
constant specific heat; and, in the final case of the series,
the specific heat is supposed to vary.
Nowadays, use of TEM1 is recommended rather than H1; and In-Form
provides a much more convenient way of introducing variations of
properties and boundary conditions.
