Description

Fundamentals of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems: Design and Application�is written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in renewable energy and heat transfer. This classroom-tested text covers ground heat exchanger modeling, secondary loop ground-source system design, pumping energy, thermal response testing, commercial building applications, and horizontal and groundwater ground heat exchangers. � The book is oriented to practical applications, including the economic analysis of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems,�but more theoretical sections�are provided covering research-related geothermal applications. Chapters on heat transfer fundamentals and heat pump concepts are included for readers less familiar with thermal engineering concepts. A chapter covering the economic analysis of GSHP systems is also included. All of the examples and problems in the book are solved using the open-source Python programming language. Thebook will provide students in geothermal energy courses with a solid understanding of the subject. It will also be a valuable reference for professionals working in the field of renewable energy.Typham this is the title: Fundamentals of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems Design and Application
