Abstract

In the current design of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs), the ground is commonly considered to be homogenous. However, in a layered subsurface, thermal performance of BHE can deviate drastically with different strata. Thereby, analysis of the heat transfer of a BHE with different geological layers is important for optimal sizing of BHE.
