This paper presents a study of heat transfer phenomena in benchscale experiments of heat and mass flow in porous media (Atkinson, 1976). The intent of this work was to determine which heat transfer mechanisms are important in the bench-scale experiments being carried out in the Stanford Geothermal Program. The initial analysis considered the relatively simple case of nonisothermal single-phase liquid flow. However, the results can be applied to bench-scale experiments involving boiling water or brine flow (such experiments have been described by Chen, 1976).
