Supersaturated solar ponds for enhanced thermal insulation by the spontaneous formation of a thin film gas at the bottom

In this work the novel approach of supersaturated solar ponds to enhance thermal insulation of the pond by the spontaneous formation of a thin film gas blanketing its bottom which is covered by active nucleation sites is discussed. Utilizing a simplified physical model an expression for the heat tra...

Sumario:In this work the novel approach of supersaturated solar ponds to enhance thermal insulation of the pond by the spontaneous formation of a thin film gas blanketing its bottom which is covered by active nucleation sites is discussed. Utilizing a simplified physical model an expression for the heat transfer and the increase of temperature at the bottom of the solar pond was derived
