The thermal properties (thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat) were measured for igneous and sedimentary rocks at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The thermal properties of the igneous rocks, dunite and gabbro, were then measured at temperatures ranging from 293 K to 483 K and 293 K to 443 K, respectively. A predictive model was then developed for estimating the effective thermal conductivity of porous media using the thermal conductivities of the solid ...
