Abstract
SYNOPSIS This study presents the thermal modelling of solar flat plate collectors, installed outside for heating an agricultural greenhouse. The effect of depth of the water tank and area of collectors on plant, room air and water temperature has been studied in detail. The plant and room air temperature have been evaluated with and without north wall and with collector area. Numerical computations have been carried out for a typical winter day of New Delhi. On the basis of Numerical results, it is inferred that the plant temperature, room air temperature and water temperature of the greenhouse increase significantly with an increase in collector area and decrease with increase of water mass and plant mass.
