“…Wang and Akbarzadeh (1983) concluded that depth of the LCZ should vary depending on the desired operating temperature, to accomplish the maximum efficiency [34]. implied that the type of application coupled with the gel pond may determine the thickness of the LCZ, they claimed that this pond behaviour is similar to that of the SGSP [39].…”

This paper deals with the modelling of solar ponds for different sizes to calculate saturation time and temperature by using discrete ordinates method. The modeled solar pond is a subsoil type and aimed to minimize the heat losses by isolating side wall and ground with foam with the thickness of 10 cm in all cases. In the model, upper convective zone is 10 cm deep and non-convective zone consists of five layer and each layer is 10 cm deep and storage zone depth ranges from 40-400 cm. Therefore, the solar pond totally consists of seven layers. The saturation temperature was found to be about 322 K for 12 different solar pond.

Solar energy is used for a wide range of applications such as electricity production, desalination, cooling, heating, etc. Solar-based technologies are widely spread and increasingly studied in the industry. This theoretical and experimental study focuses on solar ponds as a desiccant and low-grade energy source. A thermal model has been developed for a salinity gradient solar pond (SGSP) with a non-convective zone split into 10 sub-zones. A solar pond was constructed and used as a case study for the validation of the predictive model capabilities. The dimensional characteristics of the pond, as well as the solar radiation intensity and ambient temperature data obtained from the meteorological data, were used to produce the solar pond's zone thermal behaviour data. With regards to the thermal behaviour measurements obtained from the solar pond, the predicted data were found to be higher. There is a significant difference between the real-world and meteorological data obtained, the difference between the predicted and real-world pond temperature data was also attributed to the fact that the actual absorbed solar radiation was reduced due to wall shading effect, turbidity and insufficient duration of operation of the pond. In the following year, the stored heat from the previous summer would be expected to improve thermal storage values obtained partially.
