Abstract Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) have been installed all around the world to harvest shallow geothermal energy for heating and cooling building envelopes. However …
The paper highlights an important distinction between heat transfer mechanism in dry and saturated soil. The effects of two site-specific conditions (eg, soil saturation and thermal …
Among several parameters that affect pile-soil heat exchange, ground thermal properties play a major role. Although heat conduction is commonly considered to be the key heat …
In this study, the authors investigated the feasibility of a ground-coupled system that utilizes heat energy harvested from the ground for deicing of bridge decks. Heat exchange is …
Thermal operation of geothermal piles changes ground temperature as heat is injected to or extracted from the ground. Formulation of a finite difference (FD) model that can predict heat …
Energy geosystem (ie, geothermal heat pump system, energy geostructure) features the advantages of low carbon footprint, low maintenance requirements, environmentally …
