The Behavior of Nine Solar-pond Candidate Salts
Author: Daniel J. Schell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Salt
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Several highly soluble salts were tested for their suitability as solar pond materials in a laboratory salinity gradient pond. Each of the salts tested has the potential to become a cheap, widely available resource, and could favorably impact the economics of salt-gradient solar ponds. Each salt's performance was compared with the performance of sodium chloride, the most common used salt in ponds. Predictions of stability were made and compared with experimentally derived stability as determined by the growth of convective layers. The investigators observed good agreement between experimental and theoretical ranking of the stability of each salt. However, it was apparent that more extensive information on the properties of candidate salt solutions was needed. Sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride exhibited greater stability than sodium chloride at the same concentration gradient. Ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and potassium chloride showed less stability than sodium chloride at the same concentration gradient. The latter three salts are soluble enough to achieve the same stability as sodium chloride, but only if the concentration gradient is increased. Because of its low solubility, sodium bicarbonate was much less stable than sodium chloride and is probably unsuitable for an unsaturated salt-gradient pond.

Solar Collectors, Energy Storage, and Materials
Author: Francis DeWinter
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262041041
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1116
Book Description
Solar Collectors, Energy Storage, and Materials covers the materials and basic components needed for solar thermal energy systems. Using thermal performance and durability as the major criteria, the twenty six chapters emphasize the modeling and assessment of devices rather than their application or cost. Each part begins with an overview and concludes with an assessment of current issues and opportunities. The contributors have been careful to document failures as well as successes in materials research. This is the fifth volume in a series that distills the results of the intensive research on and development of solar thermal energy conversion technologies from 1975 to 1986. Francis de Winter is President of the Altas Corporation, Santa Cruz, California and a member of the Santa Cruz Energy Advisory Committee. Contents: Solar Collectors. Collector Concepts and Designs. Optical Theory and Modeling of Solar Collectors. Thermal Theory and Modeling of Solar Collectors. Testing and Evaluation of Stationary Collectors. Testing and Evaluation of Tracking Collectors. Optical Research and Development. Collector Thermal Research and Development. Collector Engineering Research and Development. Solar Pond Research and Development. Reliability and Durability of Solar Collectors. Environmental Degradation of Low-Cost Solar Collectors. Energy Storage for Solar Systems. Storage Concepts and Design. Analytical and Numerical Modeling of Thermal Conversion Systems. Testing and Evaluation of Thermal Energy Storage Systems. Storage Research and Development. Materials for Solar Technologies. Materials for Solar Collector Concepts and Designs. Theory and Modeling of Solar Materials. Testing and Evaluation of Solar Materials. Exposure Testing and Evaluation of Performance Degradation. Solar Materials Research and Development.
