Fig. 1From: Net-exergetic, hydraulic and thermal optimization of coaxial heat exchangers using fixed flow conditions instead of fixed flow ratesSketch of a coaxial geothermal heat exchanger with an outer radius of inner pipe (\({r}_{{i}}\)), an inner pipe thickness (\({\delta }\)), inner radius of inner pipe (\({\overline{r_i}}\)), an inner radius of outer pipe (\({r_a}\)) and an outer pipe radius of outer pipe (\({r_o}\)) as well as an inner pipe thermal conductivity (\({\lambda _p}\)) and an outer pipe thermal conductivity (\({\lambda _c}\))Back to article page
