Thermodynamic and thermoeconomic optimization of a horizontal geothermal air conditioning system has been performed. A model based on energy and exergy analysis is presented here. An economic model of the system is developed according to the Total Revenue Requirement (TRR) method. The objective func

β¦ Synopsis
Debonding in ground heat exchangers used with geothermal heat pumps may occur for a variety of reasons, such as shrinkage of the backfill materials or surrounding formation, improper grouting and thermal mismatch. The effect of thermal contact resistance on the heat conduction due to debonding in ground heat exchangers was investigated using a set of onedimensional simplified analytical models as well as two-dimensional finite element models. From the cases studied, debonding at the backfill/pipe interface was found to be of greater significance than debonding between grout and surrounding formation.

In this paper, undertaken to enhance heat transfer rates, swirling motion was imposed on the hot air by placing injectors with various diameters and numbers in triangle line rows on the entrance section of the inner pipe of the concentric heat exchanger. With this aim various the injectors were prep
