“…Secondly, the innovative designs and models for reduction of the heat losses from top and the bottom layers of the solar ponds are considered and presented in this paper. Mashayekhi et al (2018) [18] presented steady and laminar flow of the hybrid Al2O3-Cu/water nanofluid. Research is done for the volume fraction of the solid nanoparticles which is around 0-2% in a double-layered microchannel containing sinusoidal walls.…”

The Solar pond is a pool of salt water stratified into 3 different layers, when radiations from the sun heats up the pond this heat energy gets stored in the lower most layers, thus making it as a heat source. Latent heat thermal energy storage is constantly an attractive method to store thermal energy due to because of its capacity to give high energy storage density and it also has a property to store heat at almost constant temperatures equivalent to the phase transition temperature of phase change materials (PCM). The aim of the thesis is to develop a CFD-based simulation analysis model of solar pond to analyze the double-diffusive nature of temperature and the saline concentration distributions, also to form a stable three-layer system of energy storage using computational fluid dynamics. The main objective of this study was to design solar pond modal with three layers in it and also to explore the effects of addition of material with high conductivity on the characteristics of heat transfer of pure PCM.

Purpose Over the recent years, solar energy has received outstanding attention from researchers. Solar energy applications and related large-scale projects are increasing to meet growing global energy demand as an economical, non-polluting and renewable energy source. The purpose of this study is investigating different plenum and absorber configurations of solar air heating wall (SAHW) experimentally and numerically. Design/methodology/approach In this study, various configurations of SAHW have been numerically simulated to determine the most effective design. According to the simulation results, two SAHWs with various plenum thicknesses have been fabricated and tested at different conditions. Findings Numerical simulation results indicated that parallel-flow SAHWs exhibited better performance in comparison with other placements of absorber plate. Regarding to the experimentally attained results, the highest thermal efficiency was reached to 80.51%. Also, the average deviation between experimentally and numerically obtained outlet temperature is 5.5%. Originality/value Considering the obtained results in the present study, designed SAHW has admissible efficiency to be used in various industrial and residential applications such as; air preheating, space heating and drying.

In this paper, the renewable energy solar energy is used as the heat source. The combination of solar drying bed and traditional hot air drying can effectively reduce energy consumption and operation cost. The drying chamber is divided into three layers. The top air supply outlet supplies hot air, the middle layer places wet sludge, and the bottom layer uses hot water coil to dry the sludge. The whole drying process is a heat and mass transfer process with convective heat transfer and radiation heat transfer. After analysis and comparison with traditional energy drying, it is found that drying 97.5kg of sewage sludge will save 79% energy, save 12.84 kg of standard coal, reduce 32 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.284 kg of sulphur dioxide.
