Applied Energy, 1984, vol. 17, issue 2, 117-131

Abstract: A relation between salt gradient Gc and temperature gradient GT is derived. Heat losses are estimated for a natural solar pond in a steady state and a thickness of insulating material to achieve the required insulation is suggested. Enlargement of the non-convecting zone in an unsteady state is also discussed. Predicted values are compared with the reported results and good agreement is found.
