The aim of the paper is to describe a new, rapid transient method for the determination of thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of rocks. The present transient method is based on the application of a constant heat flux to the top surface of a block of rock that is insulated on all other surfaces. Results of a sensitivity analysis of the method indicate that thermal diffusivity can be measured to a best accuracy of about 3 percent, and thermal conductivity of saturated rocks can be determined to a best accuracy of about 8 percent. The method provides estimates of thermal conductivity that are consistent with estimates made using the steady‐state divided‐bar apparatus. The method is applied to determine the thermal conductivity of a suite of rocks from western Australian sedimentary basins.

Thermal Conductivity Of Rock

The aim of the paper is to describe how inexpensive/simple physics equipment was fabricated and used in the determination of thermal conductivity of rock samples. We used the experimental techniques known as transient method of measuring thermal properties of rock samples at ambient temperature. We investigated samples found in five locations/region (Ewekoro, Ile-Ife, Igara, Ago-Iwoye, Abeokuta) in South western Nigeria. Those samples are limestone, dolerite, marble, gneiss, and granite. Although the samples are multi-mineral as revealed by photomicrograph, the thermal conductivity results obtained 1.40, 1.50, 1.57, 1.75, and 2.94 W/m?C, respectively, are found to be consistent with the ones in literature where highly expensive and sophisticated (not easily affordable in developing nation) equipment are used. .
