Abstrakt

The mini salt gradient solar pond is an innovative and novel concept which overcomes many of the difficulties of the conventional salt gradient solar pond. An experiment was carried out to analyses the performance of the mini salt gradient solar pond of surface area 2.02 m2 at Bhavnagar, India. Experimental investigation has been carried out during the month of June 2014. The maximum storage temperature was found to be 72°C. The outcome of the experimental investigations has been reported in this paper.   Keywords:  Solar Energy, Salt Gradient Solar Pond, Storage temperature Cite this Article Vora S H, Acharya G D, Bhatnagar S P,.Experimental Study on a Portable Mini Salt Gradient Solar Pond.
