Investigation of thermo-hydro-geochemical processes in a standing column well intersected by a fracture
(International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2017)
Local thermal and chemical conditions may favor minerals' scaling which can cause undesirable operational problems to standing column well systems. Precipitation may reduce heat exchange in the well and the heat exchanger ...
Assessment of the gradient of an objective function by analytical derivation for optimization-based design of ground-coupled heat pump systems
(International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, 2017)
Optimization-based design of ground heat exchangers requires derivation of the objective function with respect to the design parameters, which is usually done through finite-differentiation of the cost or utility function. ...
