Team feedback
● The qualitative framing of the results summary #1 met expectations (i.e., "Calculations show 2” is too close and returns diminish beyond 8”"). ● Assumed ground temperature profile (and rational) is not clear (i.e., "· Ground level temp is 74.44°F" & "· Temp drops linearly from ground level to full depth") ● "3D Scatter Plot of …" is nice, but variable of interest was in terms of % of total heat transfer vs. S (tube spacing - center-to-center) and not Water Temp (°F). ● The heat exchange (i.e., the thermal short circuiting) from the "inlet flow" tube to the "outlet flow' tube is somewhat like a counter-flow heat exchanger. It is not clear that this can be modeled in the context of a single cylindrical coordinate system.

Geothermal Heat Exchanger Performance Evaluations

Fluidaptic, 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.
