One of my friends has a habit of ending his haikus with something random. "Refrigerator" is his favorite.

One of my friends has a habit of ending his haikus with something random. "Refrigerator" is his favorite. I admit i have some shortcomings, i was mainly stuck because i do not know the exact equation for: Material)x(thickness)(heat capacity)+(atmospheric pressure)(Co/Kg3/M3)=Material heat at depth x Im not sure if something that direct even exists, it may actually be a matter of simply getting a metre of basalt heated by 870c at 90 atm and then multiplying that by? Heat loss across rock/material? is there an equation for that? This once again negates the fact that much of the cooling in Earths surface comes from pro active radiation into the atmosphere and oceans, and where heated areas can dump that heat at night/into cooler regions. On Venus no area is a cooler area, so no active radiation can occur.

in the star carrier series by Ian Dougles, A fortress on a garden world is placed on a hill because the siege litterally turns the ground outside the forts (handwavium) shields to lava. and the fort sinks its heat into the ground around the fort. solid rock can be used as a heatsink, it can get Much hotter

Haven't gotten around to reading beyond that. But since we don't have handwavium shields (or those nifty micro-black hole drives) I believe it's a bit of a moot-point. Venus is the perfect fortress because once you're down there nobody is gonna bother trying to dig you out. They just have to wait for the heat to get you. ;P
