On the development of the salt concentration profile in a solar pond

The problem of the development of the salt concentration profiles in a solar pond is investigated. Three different types of boundary conditions are considered and exact solutions for the salt concentrations as functions of space and time are obtained and discussed. The effect of wind velocity and size of the pond on the effective mass diffusivity of salt is studied. Several examples of the development of the salt concentration profiles for various wind speeds and pond sizes are considered and the results are plotted and discussed. The time variations of salt fluxes and consumptions are also presented for some cases.
