This invention discloses a method for analyzing
fluid temperature distribution in a U-shaped medium-deep buried
pipe heat exchanger, belonging to the field of ground source
heat pump technology. This invention assumes that the fluids in the
injection well, production well, and connecting well of the U-shaped medium-deep buried
pipe heat exchanger satisfy a one-dimensional
heat transfer equation along the flow direction. It also assumes that the backfill material and surrounding soil in the three wells satisfy a one-dimensional radial heat conduction perpendicular to the fluid flow direction, and ignores the
heat capacity of the insulation material. Then, a one-dimensional
transient heat transfer equation for the fluid is established, and the
heat transfer process in the backfill material and soil is analyzed based on an analytical model, thereby establishing a semi-analytical
heat transfer model. Finally, the fluid is divided into several nodes along the flow direction, the
simulation time is divided into several time nodes, the relevant equations are discretized into algebraic equations, and the
iterative method is used to calculate the distribution of
fluid temperature with time and space. This invention features simple modeling, low computational load, and high computational accuracy, and has high promotional value.
