Annotation: The coefficient of heat transfer of soil plays a crucial role in various engineering and environmental applications as it determines the rate at which heat is conducted through the soil medium. This coefficient is influenced by several factors, with soil composition being one of the key determinants. Understanding the relationship between soil composition and the coefficient of heat transfer is essential for optimizing the design and performance of geothermal systems, underground structures, and soil remediation processes. This abstract provides an overview of the current understanding of the impact of soil composition on the coefficient of heat transfer. It explores the diverse composition of soils, including their mineralogical, organic, and moisture content, and discusses their effects on thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal resistivity. Additionally, the abstract highlights the significance of soil compaction, porosity, and density in influencing heat transfer properties. By understanding the intricate interplay between soil composition and the coefficient of heat transfer, engineers and researchers can develop more accurate models, efficient heat exchange systems, and sustainable soil management strategies. Further investigations and experimental studies are recommended to expand our knowledge in this field and refine the predictive models for enhanced heat transfer analysis in soil systems.
