\subsection{Thermal constraints on fluid flux}
To a first approximation we can use the estimated temperatures of the fluid end members to constrain the flux of fluid needed to develop a thermal anomaly similar to that observed at Dirtlow Rake. The question is how much and how fast does the fluid need flow along the fault to (i) heat the rock in the fault zone and (ii) prevent significant heat loss via conduction through the walls of the fault? The problem is illustrated in Figure 8. Hydrothermal fluid at an initial temperature
$\Theta$_{1) $\Theta$_{1} enters the fault at depth
X_{1) X_{1} and flows up along the fault to a depth of X_{2} where the temperature is $\Theta$_{2}. We assume that heat from the fluid is lost to heating the fault zone to the temperature of the fluid and through thermal diffusion. We can express the energy balance as:
