Assessment of evaporative cooling efficiency in greenhouses equiped with wetted porous plates

The main objective of this study was to experimentally validate a mechanistic model for predicting the cooling efficiency (η) of wetted porous plates built with expanded clay. The expanded clay material was physically characterized by specific mass, surface area, and volume. The model was validated...
