Diffusion Characteristics of Solar Beams Radiation Transmitting through Greenhouse Covers in Arid Climates
In hot and sunny regions, extensive solar radiation transmitted into greenhouses makes it essential to select a greenhouse cover with specific characteristics. Reflection and diffusion are the most important properties of covers for reducing solar heating load and scattering solar beams for better g...
