Abstract

A drilling fluid conditioning system can include a centrifuge, and at least one heat transfer property sensor that outputs real time measurements of a heat transfer property of a drilling fluid that flows through the centrifuge. A method can include measuring a heat transfer property of a drilling fluid, and determining, based on the measured heat transfer property, an operational parameter of a centrifuge through which the drilling fluid flows. A well system can include a drilling fluid that circulates through a wellbore, and a drilling fluid conditioning system including a centrifuge and at least one heat transfer property sensor that measures a heat transfer property of the drilling fluid.
