Over the last few decades, great deals on ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) have been
broadly addressed. Various systems of GSHP have been employed worldwide for …

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to
variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

A fully coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) finite element model is presented for
fractured geothermal reservoirs. Fractures are modelled as surface discontinuities within a …

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on thermal conductivities of silica
aerogel, xonotlite-type calcium silicate and xonotlite–aerogel composite insulation material …

This book brings together for the first time the results of research on the thermal properties
and temperature-related behavior of rocks with their contained fluids, under subsurface …

Theoretical prediction of effective properties for multiphase material systems is very
important not only to analysis and optimization of material performance, but also to new …

In this paper an investigation on thermal conductivity of mortar, concrete and its major
constituent aggregate is presented. Four different types of rocks were tested for their …

The permeability of a rock fracture is controlled primarily by the geometry of its void space.
One effect of void space geometry is to cause the fluid to follow a tortuous path to flow …

Effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of dry sandstone was measured over a temperature
range from 275 to 523K and at pressures up to 400MPa with a guarded parallel-plate …
