| Research Abstract |
Thermal properties, thermal conductivity, volumetric heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity, were measured for soils containing different clay minerals, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and allophone, moistened with several concentrations of NaCl or CaCl2 solutions using a dual-probe heat-pulse, DPHP, technique. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity for all soils moistened with NaCl solution showed a dip decrease at 0.05 mol/L. This may be resulted from altering arrangement of clay minerals due to salt solutions. For soils moistened with other concentrations of NaCl or CaCl2 solution, thermal properties decrease with increases in concentrations. A 2-D F.E.M. model revealed that alternation of clay mineral arrangement hindered heat flow.
