Solar energy as a clear, free and nonpolluting source of energy has been always considered by human. It is revealed that the total received energy to the earth during one year radiation is approximately two times of the entire ever potential energy...

Abstract–By applying a model of finite differences, the thermal behavior of a large solar pond in the

city of Mashhad in the north east of Iran, is studied in this paper. The 32-year data of sunny hours to

day-length ...

Abstract

The thermal behavior of a small-scale salinity-gradient solar pond has been studied in this paper. The model of heat

conduction equation for the non-convective zone has been solved numerically with ...
