Physical characteristics of shallow solar ponds have previously been described empirically Pancharatnam improved Ferguson’s energy balance equation for a shallow solar pond by considering an additional term of heat transfer between the water and the bottom surface.Model validation by comparing numerical results with experimental data has also been performed To predict evaporation rate, a model of an open type shallow basin horizontal concentrator was developed.
