Globally, energy is a dynamic element that makes people's major energy demands. There
are a variety of energies; the one that is stupendous potential is solar. Solar energy is an …

This work revisits the idea of ground heat extraction in solar ponds by addressing various
limitations associated with the conventional assumption of perfect heat transfer. For this, an …

Salt-gradient solar ponds are cost-effective long-term solar collectors that can store low-
grade heat and deliver it continuously. For design and operation purposes, it is important to …

The salt gradient solar pond is a long-term heat storage system with a considerable warm-
up time. A pond is efficient when it reaches the desired temperature quickly and maximum …

Two simple formulations for estimation of net available radiation at a depth in solar pond are
proposed. The first formulation uses the correlation of Bryant and Colbeck [Solar Energy 19 …

Salt-gradient solar ponds are energy collectors and storage systems that provide continuous
heat supply. Although many studies have investigated the thermal behavior of solar ponds …

In salt gradient solar ponds, the clarity of water and absorptivity of the bottom are important
concerns. However, both are practically difficult to maintain beyond a certain limit. The …

This paper investigates a few mathematical aspects of computer simulation of salt gradient
solar pond's thermal behavior. The basic equation governing heat flow in the non-convective …

Transient natural convection in an enclosure with vertical solutal gradients has been studied
in this paper. Transfers in a rectangular cavity configuration translating hydrodynamic and …

The salinity gradient solar pond is one of the most efficient tools that can be used to collect,
convert and store the solar energy. The performance of solar pond specially depends on …
