ProcessLib::HeatTransportBHE::BHE::BHE_CXA Class Reference

Detailed Description

The BHE_CXA class is the realization of Coaxial pipe with Annular type of the Borehole Heate Exchanger. In this class, the pipe heat capacity, pipe heat conduction, pipe advection vectors are initialized according to the geometry of CXA type of BHE. For CXA type of BHE, 3 primary unknowns are assigned on the 1D BHE elements. They are the temperature in inflow pipe T_in, temperature in outflow pipe T_out, temperature of the grout zone surrounding the inflow pipe T_g. These primary variables are solved according to heat convection and conduction equations on the pipes and also in the grout zone. The interaction of the CXA type of BHE and the surrounding soil is regulated through the thermal resistance values, which are calculated specifically during the initialization of the class.
