Abstract
Thermal cycling induced micro-cracks can change the physical and mechanical properties of geothermal energy reservoir, which may influence the heat and mass transfer performance as well as the stability of the reservoir. In this study, thermal cycling treatment was carried out on granite over the temperature range of 20–300 °C with 1–20 thermal cycles. The results show that thermal cycling promotes the initiation and propagation of intergranular...
