A Study on the Behaviors of Several Layers in a Solar Pond

태양연못안의 각 층의 거동에 관한 연구

The behaviors of layers developed in a solar pond were studied by experimental and analytical methods. An experimental solar pond heated from below was constructed and operated at the net heat fluxes of 110 and 160W/m$^{2}$ and at the initial salt concentration gradients of 18.2, 27.3 and 36.4%/m. The thicknesses, growth rates, temperature and salt concentration in the top and the bottom mixed layers, the diffusive layer and the upper and the lower interfacial boundary layers were measured. The shadowgraph technique was used in order to observe all layer formation and an electroconductivity-temperature probe consisting of four electrodes was fabricated and used in measuring the salt concentration. Based on the experimental results, a model for the solar pond was developed and the governing equation and the assumptions were established. The governing equations were solved by the numerical method. The calculated results obtained from the analysis were compared with the experimental results.

본 논문에서는 하부가열식 실험용 태양연못을 제작하여 열유속과 초기의 소금 농도구배를 변화시켜 가면서 실험을 수행하였다.실험을 통하여 측정한 각 층안의 온도와 소금농도구배 및 하부혼합층의 성장율 등을 바탕으로 지배방정식과 가정을 세 운뒤 이들 방정식을 풀어 실험테이터와 비교하였다.
