Abstract

The overall impacts of the solar pond’s surface area, heat flux from solar radiation, effective water–salt thermal conductivity, depth, water density, water-specific heat, and transient time on its performance was investigated by a dimensional analysis of the solar pond. These variables were combined into a four-dimensional, recognized group using the Π-theorem. The results of dimensional analysis were applied to the pond that was being studied, and two additional ponds of different sizes were then contrasted. For the solar pond, temperature profiles and performance curves were displayed. For the dimensionless parameter , the optimal value of the nondimensional size parameter was found to be around for the best pond performance.
