Natural Ventilation Models And Production Management In An Experimental High Tunnel, Muzi Zheng Aug 2017

Natural Ventilation Models And Production Management In An Experimental High Tunnel, Muzi Zheng

Doctoral Dissertations

High tunnels (HTs) help producers to be more profitable through crop protection and extension of growing season. Proper ventilation and heat managements inside HTs are crucial for adjusting inner microclimates and future obtaining marketable crop production. This study first analyzed daytime ventilation rates that responds to the changes of external weather conditions in a Gothic-type HT located in eastern Tennessee. A mathematical energy balance model and instrumental measurement serve as validation data were developed with a good agreement for ventilation rates (R2>0.70). The coupling of energy balance model and air-flux calculation based on external weather parameters can be …
