Looked up some papers, and seemingly super low compared to what I would have initially guessed - probably because it’s porous/fluffy/sharp dust with lots of small voids/less compacted I’m guessing. Like, orders of magnitude less than the ground on earth. Not my area of expertise though and was just cursorily skimming papers for values. Specific heat cap and density seem like what you would expect for any rocky materials.
- justinclift 2y agoMight need to pour a bunch of water on the soil to increase the thermanl conductivity and make sure to never heat it above freezing?
