a Dry thermal conductivity, b dry thermal diffusivity, and c dry specific heat capacity per unit volume as a function of connected porosity for Muschelkalk (white circles) and Buntsandstein (black circles) samples from exploration well EPS-1 (Soultz-sous-Forêts). Thermal conductivity as a function of porosity is modelled for quartz and dolomite using the Rayleigh–Maxwell equation (Eq. (2); see text for details)
