摘要
Solar pond is an artificially constructed pond in which significant temperature rises are caused to occur in the lower regions by preventing convection. To prevent convection, salt water is used in the pond. Those ponds are called "salt gradient solar pond". In the last 15 years, many salt gradient solar ponds varying in size from a few hundred to a few thousand square meters of surface area have been built in a number of countries. Nowadays, mini solar ponds are also being constructed for various thermal applications. In this work, various design of solar pond, prospects to improve performance, factors affecting performance, mode of heat extraction, theoretical simulation, measurement of parameters, economic analysis and its applications are reviewed.
