Lightweight alkali-activated materials and ordinary Portland cement composites using recycled polyvinyl chloride and waste glass aggregates to fully replace natural sand
Abstract: Polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) and glass waste have proven to be significant environmental concerns considering their restricted reuse and complicated recycling procedures. Glass and PVC...
An Experimental Study on Thermophysical Parameters of Production Wells and their Applications
Abstract: Transient pressure and temperature behavior in a wellbore develops as hot fluids from the reservoir move upward, exchanging heat with the surrounding formation. Because of heat exchange...
Experimental investigation of the effect of thermal cycling on the thermomechanical properties of three rock varieties for high temperature thermal energy storage
Abstract: During the past years "rock batteries" have become increasingly relevant for the storage of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, because of their economic and ecological...
Evaluating thermal conductivity of desert sand under different initial physical properties
Abstract: Analyzing the thermal conductivity of soil as a function of other parameters is necessary to understand the flow of heat around earth-to-water heat exchanger. Thermal conductivity depends...
Results from the GeoERA MUSE shallow geothermal project – UK Cardiff pilot area
