Evaluation of a novel greenhouse design for reduced cooling loads during the hot season in subtropical regions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Greenhouses provide an optimized growth environment for plants. However, providing this environment is energy intensive. In subtropical regions, most of this energy is to cater for the required cooling. The cooling demand ...
Regression models for performance prediction of counter flow dew point evaporative cooling systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Practitioners take more interest in the output conditions of cooling systems than the details of the processes. In this study, regression models are developed that relate input parameters, including operational and geometrical ...
Performance evaluation of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: an experimental study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Given the negative environmental impact and high energy consumption of conventional air conditioning systems, the use of passive cooling systems has become particularly important. An earth-to-air heat exchanger, which ...
Airflow assessment in a naturally ventilated greenhouse equipped with wind towers: numerical simulation and wind tunnel experiments
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the air change rate and airflow distribution inside a greenhouse equipped with wind towers were analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, considering different wind speeds (1–5 m/s) and ...
Comparison of 1D and 3D heat and mass transfer models of a counter flow dew point evaporative cooling system: Numerical and experimental studyÉtude comparative numérique et expérimentale de modèles de transfert de chaleur et de masse 1D et 3D d’un système de refroidissement évaporatif à point de rosée à contre-courant
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the performance of a counter flow dew point evaporative cooling system has been examined, numerically and experimentally. A one-dimensional (1D) model of the heat and mass transfer in the cooling system is ...
