Thermal conductivity of rocks is one of the most important parameters in designing a geothermal heat pump system, because heat exchange rate depends primarily on thermal conductivity of rocks. In this paper, the measurement methods of thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity of rocks, and heat exchange rate are discussed.

A sliding accident on the road have a high percentage by road freezing, especially, it is often appeared at bridges and tunnel of freezing areas. Thus, the stability of road operations is enhanced by preventing a partial freezing phenomenon. According to the geothermal snow melting system analysis, a pattern of thermal conductivity is found out about pavement materials of concrete and asphalt when it is buried. For the feasibility study on geothermal snow melting system, analysis of the ground melting point when operating system, life evaluation of pavements and safety evaluation of pipes are performed.

A ground loop heat exchanger for the ground source heat pump system is the core equipment determining the thermal performance and initial cost of the system The length and performance of the heat exchanger is dependent on the ground thermal conductivity, the operation hours, the ground loop diameter, the grout, the ground loop arrangement, the pipe placement and the design temperature. The result of this simulation shows that higher thermal conductivity of grouting materials leads to the decrease length of geothermal heat exchanger from 100.0 to 84.4%.

The characteristics of geothermal resources in Korea was roughly estimated using hot springs, 580 geothermal gradients and 338 heat flow data. In the aspect of hot springs with geologic structure, location of hot springs coincide with fault zone, especially younger age of Cretaceous to Tertiary. In the aspect of geothermal gradients, Pohang area shows the highest geothermal gradient anomaly, which is covered with unconsol idated rock of low thermal conductivity preserving the residual heat from igneous activity or radioactivity elements decay. In the aspect of heat flow density, high anomaly can be found along the zone connecting Uljin-Pohang-Busan on the southeastern part of Korean peninsula at which big fault zone as Yangsan fault is well developed.

This study was performed to construct a geothermal data base about thermal conductivity of ground heat exchanger and thermal properties of grouting material which used to refill the borehole. We have acquired geothermal data sets from 39 sites over wide area of South Korea except to Jeju island. From data analysis, the range of thermal conductivity is $1.5{\sim}4.0$ W/mK. It means that thermal conductivity varies with grouting material as well as regional geology and ground water system.

이 연구의 목적은 현장의 지중열교환기에서 조건별 지중열전도도, 유속, 유량 및 파이프관내 압력을 측정하고, 이들 시험자료들을 분석하여 지열응용의 효율성을 평가하는데 있다. 규정에 따라 현장측정 장비를 설치한 후 3가지 다른 경우에서 각각 열전도도를 얻었다. 2차와 3차 경우의 결과를 바탕으로, 동일한 암반 지중하에서 다른 깊이(506 m, 151 m), 다른 파이프관경(65 mm, 30 mm)별 얻어진 열전도도는 각각 k=2.9, k=2.8로 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 4차 경우는 2차 경우와 같은 조건의 심도 지중하에서도 이중관일 경우에는 열전도도가 k=2.5로 크게 차이 나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 지열이용 시, 같은 지질일 경우 깊이가 중요한 변수가 될 수 있음을 보여 주고 있다. 또한 이 시험에서 얻은 물의 유속과 물의 유량 측정값 및 열전도도를 시뮬레이션 분석한 결과, 지열시스템의 운영 시 심도 506 m 지열공 한개가 심도 151 m 지열공 3개 운영보다 더 경제적임이 확인되었다. 비슷한 지중열전도도 환경에서 0.8 m/sec로 같은 유속일 경우 약 4배의 유량($9.3{\sim}9.8m^3/d$, $2.3{\sim}2.5m^3/d$)의 차이를 보였다. 특히 대도시 건물 밀집형 지대 또는 지가가 비싸서 간접비가 많이 발생하는 대도시 지역에서는 훨씬 더 경제적일 것으로 판단된다.

Groundwater flow in confined aquifer and heat transport in underground geologic media are using same governing equation(line source) like well fuction. Therefore the conventional slope method using only later data obtained from in-situ thermal response test to determine the thermal conductivity of vertical geothermal heat exchanger(GHEX) is basically identical with one of Theis straight line method of aquifer test under artesian condition. In case that the pumping rate(Q, $m^3$/d) and drawdown(s,m) which are used for input data of existing hydrogeologic computer programs for aquifer test are replaced and converted to supplying heat energy per unit length of bore hole(Q/L,w/m or Kcal/h.m) and temperatures (T,$^{\circ}C$)measured at in and out-let of GHEX as in put data respectively, thermal conductivity around geothermal heat exchanger can be easily estimated without any special modification of the existing hydrogeologic computer program. Two numbers of time series temperature variation data obtained from in situ geothermal response test are analized using Theismethods(standard curve and straight line method) by using existing aquifer test program and conventional Slope method proposed by ASHRAE. The results show that thermal conductivity values estimated by two straight methods are identical and the difference of estimated values between standard curve methods and Slope method are also within acceptable ranges. In general,the thermal conductivity estimated from Theis straight linemethod gives more accurate value than the one of Slope method due to that Slope method uses only visual matching otherwise Theis method uses automatic curve matching estimation with reducing RSS.

A detailed geothermal characteristics survey with numerical simulations of the heat transfer in a site for ground source heat pump system is necessary for deploying a shallow geothermal utilization system. Density, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity are measured on 91 core samples from a 300 m deep borehole in KIGAM(Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources). The heat flow is estimated from the thermal gradient and average thermal conductivity and the correlation between fracture system and hydraulic conductivity is analyzed. From the obtained ground information of the study site the performance of the ground heat pump system can be analyzed with some detailed numerical simulations for seasonal heat pump operation skill and optimal system design techniques.

Parametric study was performed using the SCW numerical model for evaluating the performance of the SCW. The five ground related parameters, which are porosity, hydraulic conductivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, geothermal gradient, and five SCW design parameters, which are pumping rate, well depth well diameter, dip tube diameter, bleeding rate, were used in the study. Numerical simulations were performed for short-term (24-hour) simulation. The study results indicate that the parameters that have important influence on the performance of SCW were hydraulic conductivity, thermal conductivity, geothermal gradient, pumping rate, and bleeding rate. Overall, this study showed that various factors had a cumulative influence on the performance of the SCW, and a numerical simulation can be used to accurately predict the performance of the SCW.
