This simulation evaluates the design of an solar pond power plant. The maximum thermal efficiency of this solar pond and the maximum power generated by the pond are determined. |
 |
|
| Use this slider to change the solar pond surface temperature. | |
 |
|
| Use this slider to change solar pond bottom temperature. | |
 |
|
| Use this slider to change the solar radiation rate absorbed by the bottom of the solar pond. | |
 |
This window shows the maximum thermal efficiency of this solar pond. |
