Laboratory heat transport experiments reveal grain-size- and flow-velocity-dependent local thermal non-equilibrium effects by H. Lee, M. Gossler, K. Zosseder, P. Blum, P. Bayer, G. C. Rau

“…<p>Heat transport in porous media is crucial for gaining Earth science process understanding and for engineering applications such as geothermal system design. While heat transport models are commonly simplified by assuming local thermal equilibrium (LTE; solid and fluid phases are averaged) or local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE; solid and fluid phases are considered separately), heat transport has long been hypothesized, and reports have emerged. …”
