Review of SERI solar pond work

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5637249
Development of models of pond thermal performance analysis of solar pond use for building space heat and hot water production, use of low-temperature pond-produced heat for industrial processes, desalination, and electricity production, development of direct-contact heat exchanger to reduce conversion equipment cost, determination of effects of extracted heat and mass from the storage layer on pond performance, and investigation of factors which determine gradient layer stability and the stability of this interface between this level and the upper and lower convecting layers were described.
