Medical Hydrology and Balneology: Environmental Aspects
Results
As expected, the specific heat, the thermal conductivity and the density present a
normal behaviour:the specific heat increases with temperature and decreases with
concentration whereas the thermal conductivity increases with an increase in temperature
and concentration and density decreases with an increase of temperature
and increases with concentration.
Conclusions
The results of this study will be used to determine the best proportion between
peloid and mineral water for an individual bath.
