Abstract

A solar pond is an application that is used to store large amounts of thermal energy. Solar pond with a salinity gradient was constructed in this research salt containing sodium chloride was used with a concentration of 26%. Initial experiments were conducted with 0.3m thickness of the pond lower zone, then the thickness was changed to 0.4m. It was conducted in Iraq at Karbala (32.55°N, 43.97°E). Useful energy and thermal efficiency are key factors used to measure the performance of a solar pond. The results showed that solar radiation could be got at about 1 pm. The results also showed that the maximum lower zone’s temperature of the pond with a thickness 0.3m and 0.4m is about 46.2 °C and 49.2 °C respectively. It was also concluded that changing the thickness of the lower zone improves the thermal energy, useful energy and thermal efficiency of solar pond by 6.5%, 21.7% and 14.5% respectively.
