Computational fluid dynamics analysis of heat transfer in a greenhouse solar dryer “chapel‐type” coupled to an air solar heating system

Abstract The distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), temperature, and velocity of humid air inside the greenhouse solar dryer (GHSD) was numerically investigated using 3D CFD ANSYS FLUENT code. The effect of solar radiation was coupled with the energy equations using the discrete ordinate mo...
