Enhancement of soil thermo-physical properties using microencapsulated phase change materials for ground source heat pump applications

Soil can be modified with Phase Change materials (PCM) in order to enhance its thermophysical properties and energy storage for ground source heat pump applications. This paper studies thermo-physical properties of soil modified with different amount of microencapsulated PCM. It is shown that increa...
