This article studies the thermal properties of grout used in geothermal energy applications. A number of different cement based sealants were analyzed by the authors to understand how the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity change as they are exposed to conditions similar to what they withstand when they are in use. Moisture content was of particular importance, as the porous grouts easily absorb the groundwater that they come in contact ...
