The present Ph.D. dissertation deals with the finite element analysis of the heat transfer processes in double U-tube Borehole Heat Exchangers, called BHEs. In the evaluation of thermal response tests (TRTs), in the design of the BHE fields, and in the dynamic simulation of ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHPs), the mean temperature Tm of the working fluid in a BHE, is usually approximated by the arithmetic mean of inlet and outlet temperatures. In TRTs, this approximation causes an overestimation of the thermal resistance of the heat exchanger. In the dynamic simulation of GCHPs, this approximation introduces an error in the evaluation of the outlet temperature from the ground heat exchangers. In the present thesis, by means of 3D finite eleme...
