Abstract: Numerical simulation results are presented which compare performances between a conventional solar pond and a proposed solar pond configuration. The proposed pond maintains a stratified storage ...

Abstract: An operational condition is defined for a salt-stratified solar pond. A criterion based on empirical evidence is formulated which shows a limit is approached as steady operating conditions are ...

Abstract: A recording depth sounding instrument has provided several different diagnostic measurements in the 1000 m2 Research Salt Gradient Solar Pond at Argonne National Laboratory. The sounder has been ...

Abstract: Two models are presented for the prediction of solar radiation transmission through a random medium of glass and water. One model is based on two-dimensional radiation exchange through a ...

Abstract: An active brine reconcentration system has been incorporated into the design of the University of Illinois half-acre salt gradient solar pond facility. An important feature of the system is its ...
