In case of noninsulated salt gradient solar pond, heat losses through bottom and sides are significant. The magnitude of losses depends upon the location (depth) of water table, which act as a heat sink. Simulation analysis indicates that deeper the water table, lesser are the heat losses and...

This paper investigates a few mathematical aspects of computer simulation of salt gradient solar pond’s thermal behavior. The basic equation governing heat flow in the non-convective zone of solar pond is solved by finite difference approach using the Crank–Nicholsen method. Stability and...

Stability of salt gradient solar pond salinity profile is examined under transient thermal phase. The analysis is done for straight as well as parabolic salinity profile. It is observed that the stability criterion at the upper interface of salinity profile is satisfied for a thin non-convective...

The links between water application, energy consumption and emissions are complex in irrigated agriculture. There is a need to ensure that water and energy use is closely considered in future industry planning and development to provide practical options for adaptation and to build resilience at...

The policy of condom intervention is based on achieving ejaculation inside a condom, a "mechanical" goal of sexual interaction. However, most research on condom use has focused upon a simplistic reliance on survey results of condom use during the last sex act. Interviews with 20 hotel-based...
