Abstract

In this paper, the transient behaviour of solar ponds has been investigated using a finite difference formulation. The performance of solar ponds can be successfully analysed and the effects of various parameters studied. The thickness of the layer with density gradient has a profound effect on the performance of a solar pond and an increase of the thickness of this layer from 1 to 2m increases substantially the operating temperature for the same overall efficiency.
