Dear all Does anyone know the details of how the borehole thermal resistance is handled in type 557b. I have an estimate for the effective borehole resistance from a thermal
response test and guessed I could use this value for “Fluid to ground resistance” (parameter 11) if I set “Negative of pipe to pipe resistance” (parameter 12) to zero. I gather the units for the resistance should be [ m K h/kJ], however I have run a TRNOPT
optimization using operational data from the site and get back reasonable estimates for the storage thermal conductivity and heat capacity while the estimated thermal resistance is off roughly by a factor of 10. This seems to indicate I am not using the model
correctly. I would be most grateful if anyone can offer any insight.
