Revisiting Gradient Layer Heat Extraction in Solar Ponds Through a Realistic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the concept of heat extraction from the gradient zone (GZ) in solar ponds has been analyzed in a more realistic manner to overcome the drawbacks of previously conducted studies. For this purpose, a net heat ...
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Base Insulation on the Productivity of a Packed Bed Solar Air Heater
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Effect of bottom surface thermal energy loss for a packed bed solar air heater is investigated using both one-dimensional transient and steady-state models. While the former is solved numerically, closed-form solution is ...
Wall Energy Loss and Entropy Generation in Solar Ponds Using One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Transient Analyses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, wall thermal energy loss in a cylindrical solar pond is studied using one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) transient models. It is seen that for a given quantity of insulation applied around the ...
Analytical and Numerical Models of a New Hybrid System of Earth Air Tunnel Integrated Solar Air Heater With Sensible Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel combination of an earth air tunnel (EAT) and a sensible thermal storage-aided solar air heater has been proposed when the sensible storage medium is taken to be rocks filled within the air flow passage. Both ...
