Salinity gradient solar ponds can be used to store heat by trapping solar radiation. The heat can then be employed to drive various industrial applications that require low-grade heat. In this study, a comprehensive finite difference transient model has been developed incorporating many processes that affect the performance of a solar pond to predict the hourly temperature distribution. The model includes novel approaches to simulation of both the Heat Storage Zone (HSZ) and the Upper Convective Zone (UCZ) where in addition to convective, evaporative and radiative heat losses, the cooling effect of adding freshwater to the surface of the pond is taken into account. The HSZ is treated as one layer, with uniform temperature, in the finite dif...
