An analysis of a honeycomb-stabilized, saltless solar pond as a solar energy collector and long term (spanning seasons) storage system is presented. The solar pond is considered with a nonconvective zone made up of an oil layer and air honeycomb configuration. A heat flow model is developed...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays in field conditions deliver lower power than the array rating. In this paper, the sensitivity of solar cell parameters in the variation of available power from the array is investigated. The parameters characteristic of aging and fresh cells used in prototype field...

A solar pond consisting of transparent compound honeycomb encapsulated with Teflon film and glass plates at the bottom and top surface respectively, floating on the body of a hot water reservoir is considered and analysed for the heat transfer processes in the system. A mathematical model is...
