Sand with a high quartz content, low porosity, and high moisture content achieves high thermal conductivity (and thermal diffusivity) and is suitable when high rates of heat transfer are needed (e.g. with borehole thermal energy storage, aquifer thermal energy storage, packed-bed thermal energy storage, solar greenhouse, and solar dryer).
Under saturated conditions, however, instead of using the quartz content to calculate the thermal conductivity of the mineral soil, Farouki directly used the sand and clay content, and the bulk thermal conductivity of soil solids was estimated as the volumetric weighted arithmetic mean of thermal conductivities of all soil components.
Three rounded quartz sands with different particle sizes were used in experiments to investigate the effects of particle size and fines content on thermal conductivity. Results …

As for the soil solid thermal conductivity λ s, Johansen proposed that it was related to the mineral composition of soil particles, which can be obtained through the following formula: (4) λ s = λ q q λ 0 1 − q where λ q is the thermal conductivity of quartz, 7.7 W·m −1 ·K −1; q is the content of quartz.

Thermal conductivity of rocks falls usually in the range of 0.40–7.00 W m −1 K −1 . Low values are characteristic for dry, not consolidated sedimentary rocks, as gravels and sands. Higher thermal conductivity values are for most sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, while very high are typical for felsic igneous rocks.

In this research, thermal conductivities of three quartz sands were studied using a newly developed thermo–time domain reflectometry (TDR) probe. The test results revealed that thermal conductivity of quartz sands increased with compaction moisture content and dry unit weight. Higher quartz content also led to higher thermal conductivity.
A clear positive correlation was also found between the thermal conductivity and the grain sizes of the samples. When the expected effect of porosity on the thermal conductivity was excluded, a linear correlation between the logarithm of the grain size and the measured thermal conductivities of the water-saturated samples was found.
The thermal conductivity of four sands is measured using laboratory thermal probe. It is found that thermal conductivity increases with decrease of porosity and increase saturation degree.
Despite the high thermal conductivity of quartz relative to methane hydrate, the largest thermal conductivity was measured in the mixture containing 33% hydrate rather than in hydrate-free sand. This suggests gas hydrate enhanced grain-to-grain heat transfer, perhaps due to intergranular contact growth during hydrate synthesis.
