Resources available at the heat flow lab
of the Texas Tech Geosciences include:
-
Guarded hot
plate heat flow meter (Unitherm 2022 of Anter
Corporation) for measuring thermal conductivity of solid
rock samples at temperatures up to 300°
C
-
Thermistor
needle probe units for measuring thermal conductivity of
soil and unconsolidated sediment samples.
-
Temperature
circulating baths
-
Outdoor
temperature sensors and data loggers
-
BasinMod
software packages (Platte River Associates) for geothermal
heat transport and hydrocarbon maturation modeling in one-
and two-dimensions
-
Geographix
software packages (Landmark Graphics) for well data
management, interpretation, and stratigraphic model
construction
-
Other
computational resources for heat transport model development
(e.g., MATLAB, Microsoft Visual Studio,
Absoft ProFortran, etc.)
