A dynamic simulation model for heat and water vapor transfer in a naturally ventilated, fog-cooled greenhouse was developed to predict the temperatures of air, plant, cover and floor surface and the relative humidity in the greenhouse. Transpiration and evaporation were also predicted. An...

In a greenhouse cooled by a fogging system, the fraction of fog that evaporates by absorbing sensible heat from the greenhouse air, β, is an essential parameter to be determined for evaluating the system performance. Recent studies estimated β under indoor conditions by collecting the...
