Modeling of shallow, horizontal, unsaturated, ground-based heat exchangers with consideration of dry zone formation
High fluid temperatures in ground-based heat exchangers (GHXs) during the cooling season may result in a decrease in thermal conductivity of adjacent backfill (λbackfill), potentially causing degradation in the performance efficiency of the GHX system. In this study, numerical modeling was performed...
