Abstract:
A solar pond with salt gradient is a system used to collect, convert and store heat energy absorbed from solar energy. Basic salt gradient operation in a solar pond is presented in this study. A numerical model is developed and simulated for mass and heat transfer behavior of a solar pond. Pond's water temperatures and salt concentration distributions are observed. The results are obtained for the climatic conditions of Lahore and established that system is viable to operate in this climatic condition.
