Abstract

 

This paper presents mathematical model for predicting thermal environment inside the arch shape greenhouse. Predicted thermal environment inside the greenhouse helped to select the crop nursery for growing inside the greenhouse. Actual thermal environment inside the greenhouse compared with predicted thermal environment. Experimental and predicted values of greenhouse temperature were almost same with variation of 2 to 3oC.

 

Key words: Arch shape greenhouse, mathematical model.
