Abstract
In salt-stabilized solar ponds, the establishment and maintenance of salt gradients forms one of the significant factors controlling the economics of energy conversion. Hence, considerable attention is directed towards minimizing the expenditure. Recently, Elwell's analysis of the marginal stability criterion has highlighted the interesting possibility of stabilizing solar ponds with much smaller concentrations than the conventionally adopted saturation concentration at the pond bottom. A general treatment for the use of the stability criterion for evaluating concentration profiles has been given. The stabilities of different layers of pond fluids with marginal stability conditions have been discussed.
