Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat are investigated for a granite rock sample from a deep borehole in central Portugal. Thirty-three samples were divided into two groups based on the degree of metasomatic alteration. It was found that the average thermal conductivity for the samples in the group comprising the less altered samples was 2.90 ± 0.26 W/m K, and for the more altered samples, the average value was 2.95 ± 0.19 W/m ...
