Abstract—Applications of simple methods to reduce the maintenance of a small solar pond are discussed in

this paper. It was found that floating rings along with continuous surface flushing could effectively control and

maintain a...

Abstract

The performance of a laboratory-scale salt-gradient solar pond is described in this paper. Di erent

methods of saline injection to the bottom layer and corresponding temperature and concentration

pro®les as a function...

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 ratio are used...

Thermal energy extraction from a small salinity-gradient solar pond is studied in this article. The small pond has an area of 4.0 m2 and

a depth of 1.1 m. Fresh water circulates through an internal heat exchanger, located in the lower...

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 the boundary conditions...
