Abstract
A simplified semi-analytical model of vertical double U-pipe ground heat exchanger (VDUGHE) was established. The validity of the established model is examined by contrasting the figured outcomes with experiment data, emulation results of 3D numerical model and calculation results of infinite line-source model (ILSM) for different inlet boundary conditions and configurations. After 1 hour, the semi-analytical model?s relative error is less than 0.32% under the boundary condition of given inlet fluid temperature. Under the boundary condition of given total heat input rate, the semi-analytical model?s relative error after 10 hours is less than 0.11%, while the ILSM?s relative error is less than 0.60%. The semi-analytical model is in good agreement with experiment and numerical model, and has higher calculation accuracy than ILSM.
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
