An optical properties of the insulated cylindrical model solar ponds

The energy source of solar pond is solar beam. Solar radiation reaching the earth is part of the various systems taht can convert heat energy. One of the systems is solar ponds. Solar ponds interior regions is composed of layers of different densities and different thicknesses , clean salt water. These are upper convective, non convective and heat storage zone. The upper convection zone is clean water. Reacing to the portion of long-wavelength light on the surface of the solar pond is absorbed here. In the remaning part of the visible region of light is reached from convective zone to storage zone after reflection, absorbtion, scattering in convective zone. Storage area where incoming solar radiation is collected and stored in the form of heat energy Incoming solar radiation to storage area are lost the significant part due to the the structure of the salt water and water pullution. These losses significantly affect the efficiency of the solar pool.In this study, for 3 months to diffrent layer of diffussion analysis of samples taken from salt water , rust (iron oxide) in salt water and the environment are involved in solar pond water , dust and other contaminants significantly affect the permeability of the particles were observed, especially the upper part of the storage area.
