Introduction � � The origin of the Earth thermal flux is not understood completely.

Introduction � � The origin of the Earth thermal flux is not understood completely. The value of the heat flux from Earth interior also could be revised. Modern Earth model regards radiogenic heat as about a half of total measured one. Registering of antineutrinos on the Earth surface can help to understand if the most part of the heat flux is due to radioactivity or not. Also there is possibility to analyze reservoirs of heat sources from radioactivity inside the Earth. 14. 06. 2021 ICPPA-2017 MEPh. I Moscow 3 /33

300 ± 80 TW seems not so high There may be that nonconductive way of heat transfer by hot gases is the main process in transfer of inner Earth heat. The gases goes up through the narrow gaps and carries up the heat to the surface the chemical potential - potential energy that can be absorbed or released in chemical reactions. 14. 06. 2021 ICPPA-2017 MEPh.

The way of heat transfer in HE model: the gas carries up the chemical potential Silane - Si. H 4 - gas in temperature region: -112 to +450 °С Formation: Mg 2 Si + 4 H+ = 2 Mg 2+ + Si. H 4 ↑ - Q Decomposition: Si. H 4 + 2 H 2 O = Si. O 2 + 4 H 2 ↑ + Q � Si.

Conclusion 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Used value (47 TW) of Earth heat flux is low limit Nondirect measurements demonstrate higher value of heat flux Explanation of Earth heat flux may be done by geoneutrinos measurement: to explore how much is the Earth radioactivity, where radioactive nuclei are accumulated etc. Large neutrino detector should be constructed to have available statistics in appropriate time 40 K neutrinos registration will give an answer on the heat flux value 14. 06. 2021 ICPPA-2017 MEPh.
