The work examines heat transfer in fractured crystalline rocks with application to heat mining from hot dry rocks (HDR). The object of this study is to investigate the dimensional effect of heat diffusion within the rock matrix. Analytical models based on the Laplace-transform technique assume one-dimensional heat flow within the rock matrix perpendicular to the fracture plane.
