heat exchanger performance appraisal fluid mechanics thermal management heat transferFluidaptic, LLC is exploring the efficiency and performance of geothermal heat exchangers for use with geothermal heat pumps. The goal of this project is to assess the thermal performance and overall feasibility of geothermal heat exchangers that have lower installation costs vs. conventional geothermal heat exchangers. The project will involve analysis (e.g., simulation) of heat exchangers under various conditions and comparison with traditional heat exchangers. Learners will apply their knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and energy systems to evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of these geothermal heat exchangers. The outcome will help Fluidaptic, LLC make informed decisions about future product development and market strategies.
