The Effect on Performance of the Salt Gradient Zone of the Solar Pond
Öz
In this study, a solar pond of surface area 4 m2 and depth 1.5 m is considered and the effect of the salt gradient zone with insulated side walls on the heat performance of the solar pond was investigated. Salt gradient zone is transparent and non-convective zone which was formed by stacking of 6 different density brine layers each of 10 cm thickness in decreasing intensity upwards from the heat storage region. The non-convective zone’s thickness and density distributions as much as the transparency of brine layers are important parameters acting on the thermal performance of the pond. To determine this effect, the variation of specific heat as a function of temperature and density of the layer is calculated for various months. Using these parameters, the average monthly rates of heat distribution that is stored in the inner region of the solar pond were determined. As a result, the average monthly rates of heat storage are found to be 11.43 MJ for January, 212.42 MJ for May and 320.95 MJ for August.
