Thermal Design of an Antarctic Water Well.
The thermal and mechanical aspects of a potable water reservoir, formed at depth in a permanent snowfield in Antarctica, are detailed. The thermal model can be used for preliminary design, to predict reservoir size and depth, water temperature and mass, and energy requirements as a function of time....
