Review of series-parallel models for calculating the thermal conductivity of soils

Abstract

The paper presents mixed models collected from the literature for calculating the thermal conductivity of the soil. They are created on the basis of combining the serial and parallel model. The thermal conductivity of the soil is the basic thermal parameter of the soil. Knowledge of it is necessary, among other things, for the proper design of underground infrastructure. The combination of models will help you to choose the method of calculating the thermal conductivity of the soil that gives the most accurate results and has the lowest error.
