20. Numerical Simulation of a Shallow Solar Pond Operating Under the Batch Mode of Heat Extraction

The purpose of this work is to conduct a numerical simulation in order to predict the thermal performance of a shallow solar pond operating under the batch method to extract heat, the pond is equipped with two glass covers to enhance global warming, and the bottom of the pond is painted in black in order to increase the absorption of solar radiation. the pond has also been thermally insulated by wrapping it with polystyrene from the sides and bottom in order to reduce thermal loss, based on the solution of the differential equation resulting from the thermal balance equations of the pond and using the climatic conditions of the city of Medea and that's on date 18/08/2019, a computer program is developed using MATLAB software and the results were presented and discussed.
