TLDR
In this paper, if the hydraulic permeability of crustal material is sufficiently high, convection driven advection of heat can be an equally or even much more efficient transfer mechanism, provided sufficiently strong driving forces are supplied by forced or free convection systems.
Abstract
(1) If the hydraulic permeability of crustal material is sufficiently high, convection driven advection of heat can be an equally or even much more efficient transfer mechanism, provided sufficiently strong driving forces are supplied by forced or free convection systems. This is often the case in sedimentary basins. However, fluid driven heat advection can be important also in crystalline rocks and on a crustal scale (Etheridge et al., 1983, Torgersen, 1990, Clauser, 1992).

Thermal Properties of Granite from the Central Part of Korea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thermal and physical properties of 206 Jurassic granite samples obtained from three boreholes in the central part of Korea and found that thermal conductivity increases with increasing quartz and SiO2, and decreases with increasing albite and Al2O3.

Integrated Subsurface Temperature Modeling beneath Mt. Lawu and Mt. Muriah in The Northeast Java Basin, Indonesia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed integrated modeling for profiling the subsurface temperature beneath the survey line from Mt. Lawu to Mt. Muriah in the Northeast Java Basin, where they measured temperature data from tens of wells along a 130 km survey line with an average spacing of 5 km.

Thermophysical properties of materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the thermal properties of harmonic lattice vibrations in real crystals and atomic vibrations in defect lattices, as well as the properties of anisotropic and polycrystalline materials.

Thermal Conductivity of Porous Media. I. Unconsolidated Sands

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of determining the effective thermal conductivity of a two-phase system, given the conductivities and volume fractions of the components, is examined, and an equation based on a three-element resistor model is proposed.

The role of the fluid phase during regional metamorphism and deformation

TL;DR: In this paper, a Rayleigh-Darcy modeling of a uniformly permeable, crustal slab is used to show that convective instability of metamorphic fluid is expected at the permeabilities suggested for the high Pf conditions, and that large scale convective cells operating in overpressured, but capped systems may provide a satisfactory explanation for the large fluid/rock ratios and extensive mass transport demonstrated for many low and medium-grade metamorphin-ments.

Thermal conductivity of rock‐forming minerals

TL;DR: The thermal conductivities /K/ of rock forming minerals reveal K as linear function of density for constant mean atomic weight as discussed by the authors, where k is the number of atoms in a given sample.
