Geothermal Heat
Heat (W) = 3.35Lk0.853 (VRT – α)
Where: L is the length of the opening
K is the Thermal Conductivity of the host rock (Norite = 2.28 W/m°C)
VRT is the Virgin Rock Temperature
α is the Mean dry bulb temperature estimated to be 29°C
W is the Geothermal Heat
Heat@750m below surface
W = 3.35(750)*(2.28)0.853(36.9-29)
= 40.12 Kw
Heat@1400m below surface
W = 3.35(1400)*(2.28)0.854(52.3-29)
W = 220.9 Kw
Heat@2800m below surface
W = 3.35*(2800)*(2.28)0.854*(83.1-29)
W = 1025.83
