Abstract
This paper presents the results of tests concerning two assumptions about the surface zone of a solar pond. The first assumption is that the surface zone temperature of the solar pond is equal to the air dry bulb temperature, and the second one is that it is equal to the air wet bulb temperature. The surface zone temperature and the storage zone temperature are predicted by using a lumped‐parameter model. The experimental results of the surface zone conform well with theoretical values. The results indicate that the air dry bulb temperature is more accurate in winter‐time but that the errors generated by both assumptions are almost equal in the summer‐time.
