Relationships between thermal and electrical conductivities of ocean sediments and consolidated rocks
From measurements of thermal and electrical conductivities of 64 ocean sediment samples obtained from piston cores taken off the Oregon Coast, and from 37 water-saturated sandstone samples analyzed by Zierfuss and Van der Vliet (1956), as well as 51 thermal conductivities and water contents of ocean...

| Summary: | From measurements of thermal and electrical conductivities of
64 ocean sediment samples obtained from piston cores taken off the
Oregon Coast, and from 37 water-saturated sandstone samples analyzed
by Zierfuss and Van der Vliet (1956), as well as 51 thermal
conductivities and water contents of ocean sediments analyzed by
Ratcliffe (1960), this research shows that a useful relationship can be
obtained giving thermal conductivity when electrical conductivity is
known. Analysis of the data was made using theoretical concepts
which have been known for many years to relate thermal and electrical
conductivity to porosity. The results of this research may make
possible a convenient determination of in situ thermal conductivity
that would give the average conductivity in materials containing large
variations in conductivity. === Graduation date: 1966 |
