Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Geothermal heat pump system assisted by geothermal hot spring [PDF]

Geothermal Energy Science, 2016
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The authors propose a hybrid geothermal heat pump system that could cool buildings in summer and melt snow on the pedestrian sidewalks in winter, utilizing cold mine water and hot spring water. In the proposed system, mine water would be used as cold thermal energy storage, and the heat from the hot ...

Convergence and Residual Error Analysis of Unsteady MHD Stagnation Flow Over a Cylindrical Surface With Streamline and Isotherm Visualization

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The novelty of the current study is that the unsteady MHD Cross nanofluid model is, for the first time, coupled with the melting heat transfer at the stagnation point over a horizontally extended cylinder in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. This work connects complex rheological behaviors and phase‐change phenomena in a unique way, with the only ...
