We investigate the heat conduction in a modified Lorentz gas with freely rotating disks periodically placed along one-dimensional channel. The heat conductivity is dependent on the moment of inertia η of the disks, with a power-law decay when η > 1. By plotting the Poincaré surface of the section, we observe a contraction of phase space over the range of η > 1, which is sensitive to the initial condition. We find that the power-law decay of the heat conductivity is relevant to the mixing phase space. As a possible application, we model the heterostructure by connecting the segments of different η, and predict the analytical results of the temperature profiles and the heat conductivity, which are in good agreement with the numerical ones.
