Abstract A Salt Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP) is an artificial pond or natural lake, able to
collect and store the incident solar energy, characterizing by a specific vertical gradient of …

The thermal energy collected and stored by solar ponds is usually extracted by using some
heat exchangers, where curved tubes form their core. The present study aims to appraise …

Technology developments have increased the more efficient use of solar energy, which has
led to the emergence of novel technologies to absorb, convert and store solar irradiations …

Abstract Thermoelectric generator (TEG)-thermosyphon-based heat recovery system (HRS)
