\[V \cdot \left( {{\Theta _i} - {\Theta _1}} \right) \cdot C_p^w \cdot {\rho _w} = \left[ {({x_1} - {x_2}) \cdot h \cdot \left( {\frac{{{\Theta _1} - {\Theta _2}}}{2}} \right) + \left( {{\Theta _1} - {\Theta _2}} \right) \cdot \left( {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right) \cdot {{\left( {\frac{{kt}}{\pi }} \right)}^{0.5}}} \right] \cdot C_p^r \cdot {\rho _r}\]  where V is the volume of fluid expelled along the fault, h is the effective width of the fault, C_{p}^{w} and C_{p}^{r} are the specific heat capacities of water and rock respectively, $\rho$_{w} and $\rho$_{r} the densities of water and rock, and k \textit{k}  the thermal diffusivity of rock.
