Numerical Heat Transfer Model of Buried Pipe and Ground Thermal Conductivity Measurement

Article Preview

Abstract:

A two dimensional numerical heat transfer model of buried geothermal heat exchanger has been established by finite element method. This model is used to analyse the heat transfer between buried vertical pipes and the ground, and determine the ground thermal properties together with parameters estimation method. The ground thermal conductivity of an actual project was measured and the analysis shows that the results can be used for engineering design.
