Abstract
The present work deals with the transient analytical study of a solar swimming pool for both covered and bared water surfaces with and without a heat exchanger. Explicit expressions for water temperature for each of these cases have been developed so as to enable one to design the pool according to the requirement of comfortable swimming temperature. The concept of a heat exchanger and that of a pool cover has been manifested in the analysis to provide feedback of heat energy in harsh cold climatic conditions and to reduce heat losses, respectively. Numerical calculations have been made for a typical set of experimental observations of an Australian swimming pool, and it was observed that (i) there is good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results based on the present model and (ii) there is a significant improvement in pool water temperature by covering the system at night with tirpal.
