Abstract
A computer simulation model of salt pan is presented. The transient behavior and the effects of various parameters of the salt pans, such as the depth of the brine layer, the absorptance of the soil surface, the thermal properties of the soil beneath the brine layer and the depth of the underground water table, on the evaporation process of salt pans are discussed. The effects of extra insulation layer and the intensity of solar radiation are also examined.
