Summary:

"Compilation of investigations of low-temperature ground-source geothermal and high-temperature hydrothermal systems. Contributions include studies on the feasibility of integrating geological modeling with system design, extraction of low-temperature geothermal energy in underground coal mines, ground-source heat pump systems, models that couple heat transfer with groundwater flow and/or stratigraphy, and enhanced geothermal systems"-- Provided by publisher.

Contents:

Utility of geological and pedological models in the design of geothermal heat pump systems

The characterization of flooded abandoned mines in Ohio as a low-temperature geothermal resource

Thermogeologic performance of a large-scale, district geoexchange system in southeast Pennsylvania

Petrographic and hydrogeologic investigations for a district-scale ground-coupled heat pump

Ball State University, Indiana

Evaluation of a discrete-depth heat dissipation test for thermal characterization of the subsurface

Physical modeling of coupled heat transfer and water flow in soil-borehole thermal energy storage systems in the vadose zone
