Abstract
Heat flow from the thermal areas of Sheet District N94 has been estimated to be 274,000 kcal/sec (3,910 × 106B.Th.U./hr) above 0°C. The figure is based on measurements made during the period March 1951 to April 1952. The heat flow is equivalent to a loss of 24 × 10−6 cal/cm2/sec over the whole area covered by the sheet. The heat flow could be produced by the flow upwards of 1,440 kg/sec of water with a temperature of 189°C.Keywords
