β¦ Synopsis
This paper reports an experimental investigation on the effects of climatic conditions as well as the size of plastic rings on the performance and stability of two Carnallite solar ponds each of 5 m2 surface area and 1 m in depth. Measurements of salinity and the temperature histories of the ponds are included. The ponds are tested under the climatic conditions of Jordan. It is found that the effectiveness of plastic rings as wind suppressors for Carnallite solar ponds is very much dependent on their size. The smaller the size the better the performance and stability of the pond. In general, it was found that the overall effect of rain in Jordan on Carnallite solar pond performance and stability is negligible.
