Analytical study of ventilation (Heat & mass transfer) effect in green house

Abstract

In comparison to all other agricultural industry sectors, the commercial greenhouse has the highest energy requirement. In this case, energy management is crucial from the standpoint of global sustainability. Under steady and unstable state conditions, it was examined how the temperature changed over time for different air change rates in the dry/wet soil, roof, side walls, internal air, and wetness of a greenhouse. The current research can predict the interior climate of the greenhouse for a given outside scenario and greenhouse material characteristics. The investigation of sensible features revealed a linear relationship between the temperature of different components and the roof transmissivity, soil reflectivity, and both.
