Transmission and Temperature for the Surface Icing Solar Pond

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates the radiation transmission model and heat conduction model of a solar pond which are covered with ice in the surface in winter. Combined radiation transmission functions of the natural ice which is based on experiments and the Wang and Seyed-Yagoobi model of the solar pond, temperature changing of LCZ is obtained by numerical simulation. It is revealed that surface ice of pond influences temperature changing of LCZ in two different sides. Solar energy-transmitted to the pond, on the one hand, is reduced which is disadvantageous to temperature ascending. On the other hand, the long wave from the bottom of pond is reflected downwards by lower surface of ice. Formation of greenhouse effect below the ice prevents bottom energy losing. This provides a positive influence on keeping heat stability of a salinity gradient solar pond.
