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

open access: yesDeep 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).

Microchannel Heat Exchanger Flow Validation Study

open access: yesVolume 9: Oil and Gas Applications; Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles; Wind Energy, 2018
Flow maldistribution in microchannel heat exchanger (MCHEs) can negatively impact heat exchanger effectiveness. Several rules of thumb exist about designing for uniform flow, but very little data are published to support these claims. In this work, complementary experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of MCHEs enable a solid ...
