Flooded disused coalmines could be a significant source of energy and provide cheap heat to thousands of homes, a new report argues.
Mine water geothermal heat (MWGH) systems use the water in flooded coalmines,
which is warmed by natural processes,
to supply low-carbon heat.
Heat exchangers and pumps recover the heat,
which is distributed via district heating networks to homes and buildings,
providing low-cost, long-term, stable energy.

Homogenization-based optimization of wall thickness distribution for TPMS two-fluid heat exchangers
Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures are attracting growing attention as promising geometries for next-generation high-performance heat exchangers (HXs), due to their continuous flow paths and high surface-area-to-volume ratio that enhance heat transfer performance. Among these, graded TPMS structures with spatially varying thickness have emerged as a potential means to further improve performance. This study proposes an optimization method of wall thickness distribution for TPMS H…
