Abstract

IT HAS long been known that when a moist soil is subjected to a temperature gradient, the moisture will have a tendency to move in the direction of heat flow. This phenomenon is of considerable interest in cable heating studies because the thermal conductivity of the earth in the heat field involved will decrease as moisture is lost. It is of like interest in the heat pump using a buried ground coil, where migration has also been observed.
