Pore-fluid-dependent controls of matrix and bulk thermal conductivity of mineralogically heterogeneous sandstones

Pore-fluid-dependent controls of matrix and bulk thermal conductivity of mineralogically heterogeneous sandstones

Abstract For a variety of geothermal engineering applications, the only indirectly determinable matrix thermal conductivity (λ m) is frequently used to convert the measured bulk rock thermal conductivity (λ b) of air-saturated sandstones to water-saturated conditions. However, the necessary assumpti...
