Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been extensively used in designing air distribution systems for controlled environment agriculture (CEA).In recent years, more application studies using CFD can be found vertical farms due to the increasing interest indoor farming systems.However, it is well-known that are sensitive many computational parameters and settings.The requirement of a crop response model simulation farm makes even complicated.Despite increased interest,...
The present study examines how climatic conditions and pond design affect the growth performance of microalgae. From January to April 2011, outdoor batch cultures Nannochloropsis salina were grown in three replicate 780 L conventional raceways, as well an experimental 7500 algae raceway integrated (ARID) pond. ARID culture system utilizes a series 8–20 cm deep basins 1.5 m canal enhance light exposure mitigate temperature variations extremes. reached stationary phase 27 days earlier than...
A multi-wavelength based optical density sensor unit was designed, developed, and evaluated to monitor microalgae growth in real time. The system consisted of five main components including: (1) laser diode modules as light sources; (2) photodiodes detectors; (3) driver circuit; (4) flow cell; (5) housing temperature controller. designed be integrated into any culture for both time non-real measurements algae monitoring applications. It shown that the capable dynamics physiological changes...
Recognizing the growing interest in application of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) with greenhouse crop production systems, this study we used flexible, roll-to-roll printed, semi-transparent OPV arrays as a roof shade for hydroponic tomato system during spring and summer season arid southwestern U.S. The wavelength-selective were installed contiguous area on section roof, decreasing transmittance all solar radiation wavelengths photosynthetically active (PAR) (400–700 nm) to OPV-shaded by...
Agricultural greenhouses have been identified as a niche application for organic photovoltaic (OPV) integration, leveraging key performance characteristics of OPV technology, including semi-transparency, light weight, and mechanical flexibility. For optimal electrical design assessment greenhouse-integrated systems, knowledge the solar irradiance incident on module surfaces is essential. Many greenhouse designs feature roof curvature. flexible modules deployed curved roofs, this results in...
